Hello There!
I’m Yvonne, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at Ireti Counseling & Wellness. I work with people who may seem to have everything together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they need on the inside. Whether you’re going through a life transition, struggling in a relationship, or feeling pulled between your own needs and other people’s expectations, therapy can give you space to sort through it.
As a Nigerian American therapist, I understand how culture, family, and identity can shape the way we see ourselves and the choices we make. I’m especially passionate about working with Nigerian American and other culturally diverse clients who want to explore family expectations, relationships, and personal values with someone who will listen without judgment or assumptions.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. Together, we can look at the patterns behind what you’re feeling, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to move forward. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you want to change before we begin.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in my work, while making room for your individual experiences and goals. Above all, I want you to feel heard, supported, and more confident in the life you’re creating.
Yvonne is supervised by Damilola Coker, M.Ed., LPC-S.
