Hi, I'm Yolanda!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in the mental health field for over twenty years in different capacities. I began in community health as an Associate Professional with youth while teaching students with social-emotional needs. While in Graduate school, I worked as a Qualified Professional/Case Manager for adults with significant mental health needs. My career path led me to work in hospitals and community agencies before deciding to go into Private Practice. I chose Private Practice to better serve my community and create the life I wanted for myself.

Why A Place for Peace
Yolanda created A Place for Peace, PLLC to promote hope, rejuvenation, healing, and transformation for the community. The goal is to facilitate healing by teaching tools needed to live life in a way that promotes forward movement. From improved mood, to finding harmony, and relief from the effects of trauma, ultimately A Place for Peace aspires to assist individuals in harnessing their personal power in order to create the life they want for themselves. Imagine freeing yourself to unapologetically show up as your authentic self in all spaces, that is what A Place for Peace is all about.
BREATHE INTO CALM

It starts with a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and how we can assist.
​
If it’s not a good fit, we do our best to refer to our community partners and guide you to additional service provider directories.
We assess to determine if a mental health diagnosis exists and discuss with you to develop the appropriate treatment plan. Not having a diagnosis does not mean that therapy is not needed or beneficial, it means we can’t bill your insurance company for the sessions.
We support you in accomplishing the goal you set for yourself. We understand that you are the expert on your life. We are here to provide interventions to assist you in determining the best path for your healing.
We practice what we teach. Each clinician continues their healing journey to ensure we have the capacity to hold a safe space for you.
