      <image:caption>I’m certified in EMDR, a therapy that helps your brain process and release difficult experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming or stuck, and I blend that with experiential therapy, going beyond just talking to work with what you’re feeling in the moment so the change actually sticks. I’ve seen the strongest, most lasting results this way. And beyond any technique, my strength is being someone who truly listens, helps you make sense of what’s going on, and challenges you to get out of your own way—so you can finally move forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work With Me - My Expertise</image:title>
      <image:caption>My main areas of expertise are treating anxiety, depression, and trauma using EMDR and other research-supported techniques. I also see people for a variety of other issues, including family conflict, relationship problems, life transitions, divorce, and gender and sexual identity issues. Often times, many issues are interconnected which is part of my role as a therapist to help my clients understand and resolve. I primarily work with adolescents and adults.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Work With Me - Therapeutic Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client I meet with as each person brings into therapy their unique story and personal traits. I offer my clinical expertise in a way that feels very real and practical. Treatment is goal oriented, with sessions aiming towards a client’s personal goal. The therapeutic modalities I use are EMDR, Psychodrama, skills from CBT, and mindfulness based practices. I also enjoy incorporating creative modalities if it aligns with my client’s needs. You can expect a safe, supportive, and enjoyable space that gives you the freedom to do the work!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - Hi there!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Welcome to Counseling With Yasamin! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in the field of counseling for 7 years. I’ve had the privilege of journeying alongside clients during difficult seasons in life, witnessing truly transformative change. Prior to my private practice, I was a counselor at a faith-based counseling center where I collaborated in developing a trauma-resolution group therapy program. As a person of faith, I am open to including faith in sessions, however I serve clients from any background or persuasion, religious or secular. I received a BA in Psychology from the University of Florida and a M.S.Ed in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Miami. I am Certified in EMDR and currently training in Psychodrama. I enjoy learning different styles and approaches to counseling, often carrying what I learn into my sessions. “Whatever works” is my kind of attitude!</image:caption>
