About Charla Yearwood, LCSW
Welcome! I’m Charla (she/her), a licensed clinical social worker who believes wholeheartedly in the power of authentic connection and compassionate support. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges and explore the steps needed to live in alignment with your values and aspirations.
My work is deeply rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and a commitment to evidence-based therapy. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from diverse backgrounds through both their brightest moments and most difficult times. My training spans a range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, both powerful tools for healing and growth. I bring these techniques into our sessions with care and adaptability, always focusing on what feels most supportive for you.
I understand that reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I’m honored each time someone takes that first step with me. My role is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on unraveling the challenges holding you back and nurturing the resilience within you, so you can move toward a life filled with purpose, peace, and joy.
Beyond my clinical experience, I’m passionate about social justice and equity, themes that shape not only my approach to therapy but my broader work in the community. I believe in the importance of fostering inclusive spaces, and I strive to make my practice a sanctuary for people of all backgrounds, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented communities.
If you’d like to learn more about my training, past work, or the experiences that fuel my passion for this field, I invite you to explore the rest of my site or reach out directly. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you in creating the life you envision.
