Yolanda Ducksworth, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Yolanda!

Life is filled with many ups and downs and during those times we will need someone to talk to. Someone to provide a listening ear or someone to cheer you on. We all need that someone. I can be that someone.

My focus

I work with clients who are dealing with relationship issues, family issues, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, unresolved trauma, unhealthy behavioral patterns, or a lack of coping skills. I welcome you to a safe space to be your true self so you can heal and become a better version of you.

My approach

I provide a warm approach to help you navigate life's journey. The therapy models that I will use will depend on your personality and comfort level. I am dedicated to meeting you where you are with empathy, care, and support.

My communication style

I am dedicated to meeting you where you are with empathy and care. I am here to listen and provide you with the necessary support while helping you work towards your goals and increasing your ability to heal from past or current hurts so you can navigate through life's journey effectively.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have always been fascinated with learning about people's journeys in life. I have always wanted to hear their unique story. We are all very unique in some ways, but so similar in others. I want to help clients become the best version of themselves and reach their full potential.

My goals for you

We will discuss what you are expecting out of therapy and together we will work towards setting up goals and tools in order for you to reach your fullest potential.

Our first session

Our first session will consist of us getting to know each other and discovering the reasons for seeking therapy. I will inquire about your background and together we will discuss what you want to obtain from therapy and set goals.
