A note from Yaw
If anxiety or depression has made ordinary days feel heavy, you don't have to keep pushing through alone. I'm Yaw, and for over 12 years I've helped teens, adults, and families move from stuck to capable. My style is direct and collaborative — we'll get specific about what's not working and build tools you can use between sessions, drawing on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused approaches as needed. Before opening my own practice, I worked in inpatient psychiatry and intensive outpatient care at a children's hospital, so I don't rattle easily. You'll leave sessions with something concrete to try.
