More about Dawn

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Today you are one step closer to a new, empowered self on a positive path to growth and well-being. My name is Dr. Dawn Yelvington and I look forward to working with you. I have my PhD in Counseling Studies and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have experience working with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with relational conflicts, self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, and more. As a therapist, I am open and supportive in my approach with my clients with the goal of empowering them to function at their optimal potential. I encourage those that I work with to achieve a higher level of self-awareness, self-acceptance and the courage to face their struggles.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

10/10 Dr. Yelvington was a joy to work with! She was very warm and friendly, and really helped me to see things in a logical and real way. She gave me worksheets and exercises that really helped me stay focused on improving towards my goal. In turn, I made much progress, even though our sessions were only once a week. I will always remember her kind words and the help she gave me so I can get better. Thank you Dr. Yelvington!

Dr. Yelvington has made my healing experience feel possible, when just a few weeks back it felt impossible. She has a way with integrating the strength that is within you, but has maybe strayed due to life's difficulties feel like it can come back again and make a home again inside you. She is wonderful and is a lot of the reason why I feel so much better today than I did just a few weeks back.
