Yolanda Carpenter, LMSW, SSW
Licensed Master Social Worker
I am a family, children, and adolescent therapist licensed in Michigan with over 17 years of experience working as a psych counselor and school social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting problems, Anger management, Autism, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a cognitive-behavioral and client-centered focus with psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to your specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you
