Promoting Healthy Change!
Meet Dr. Yolanda Sanders
She/Her/Hers
Psychotherapist (LPC, IL)
Hello, I'm Dr. Yolanda Sanders!
I'm a licensed professional counselor, a national certified counselor, a lifelong learner, an educator, a board-certified coach, and a mid-life career changer!
​
I worked as an educator for over 2o years before making a career change. That's how I ended up with a doctorate in education. I majored in curriculum and instruction and was passionately determined to change public education for the better.
​
Early on during my time as an educator, I wanted to learn to truly meet the needs of all my students. As a result, I developed an extended curiosity about child development and emotional needs. I then began taking additional courses in child psychology, which was around the year 2000. At that time, my counseling psychology program required me to work with adults, and I loved it! I thought that if I could support the adults in their goals of living a better life, I could also, indirectly, support the needs of the children in their care.
Unfortunately, life sometimes life gets in the way. It wasn't until 2022 that I completed my MA in counseling from Northwestern University. Now I am a licensed professional counselor working under the supervision of Dhara Nathwani, LCPC (IL).
Being a therapist has been a long-time dream. Although I could have continued to put it off, I may have always regretted it.
​
Whether you have experienced a significant life change or want to make a change, I would be honored to help you on your journey.
​
Sincerely,
Yolanda
Why Online Therapy?
Convenience, Comfort, Confidential
Convenience
There is no need for you to rush through traffic to get to your session. You can have therapy in a spot that is convenient for you, which can make it easier on busy days.
Comfort
You can have therapy in the comfort of your own home. Sit back and relax in the space where you feel most comfortable.
Confidential
Although there are some limitations, therapy sessions are confidential. If you are reluctant to seek therapy because you are concerned about what others may think., keep this in mind, no one has to know! You do not have to tell your friends and family if you think they will not be supportive of your decision to seek therapy.
