Yvette Wallace is a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in family therapy, counseling for teens, and faith-based care. Yvette especially enjoys working with teenagers and with clients who want their faith to be part of the healing process. Every person who walks through the door is offered a safe, supportive space to be seen, heard, valued, and accepted, whether a family is working to reconnect, a teen is finding footing in a demanding season of life, or a client is seeking care rooted in their beliefs.

Yvette's approach draws on Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. A person-centered foundation keeps each session grounded in empathy, acceptance, and the client's own goals, while CBT helps clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier ways of thinking and coping. Solution-Focused work turns attention to the strengths clients already carry and the practical next steps that move them toward the life they want. Each course of therapy is personalized, pairing compassion with tools for real, lasting growth.

Yvette holds a Master's degree in Educational and Clinical Counseling, a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Early Childhood Studies, and a Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) credential for counseling students in school settings. That grounding in development and education shapes Yvette's work with young people and their families. Beyond the three core specialties, Yvette supports clients navigating teen pregnancy, special needs, autism, and ADHD, helping families understand what their loved one needs at home and at school. For every client, Yvette's hope is healing, healthier relationships with themselves and others, and the tools to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Outside the therapy room, Yvette loves the outdoors and treasures quality time with friends and family. A trip to Disney, Comic-Con, or an anime convention is always a highlight.
