You are not too much. You are not broken.

You are worthy of healing, peace, and relationships that feel safe — starting with the one you have with yourself.

I’m Yolanda Haynes, a therapist passionate about helping women break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and reconnect with the truth of who they are.

For many of the women I work with, life has been a cycle of giving too much, shrinking too small, or feeling like they have to earn their place in love. Maybe that’s your story too. If so — I see you.

I specialize in supporting women who are navigating:

• Emotional burnout from caregiving or people-pleasing

• The effects of trauma, abandonment, or inconsistent relationships

• Patterns of self-doubt, guilt, or over-functioning in relationships

• Life transitions where they’re being called to finally choose themselves

  
  But lately… it feels like you’re the one falling apart behind closed doors.
  You’ve poured into others until you’re empty — and now, you’re ready to pour into you.

  I use a trauma-informed, relational approach rooted in warmth, compassion, and empowerment.
  Our work together isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about honoring your story, gently exploring what’s no longer serving you, and building new ways of showing up with yourself and others.

  You’ll feel seen, supported, and stretched — in the best ways.

  I’m a Mental Health Counselor-LP based in New York and the creator of WORTHY: Healing Relationships from the Inside Out, a 10-week therapy group for women. I draw from techniques including:

  • CBT and DBT

  • Narrative and parts work

  • Boundary and communication skills

  • Psychoeducation and journaling

  You can expect a space that is:
  ✔ Grounded
  ✔ Collaborative
  ✔ Culturally responsive
  ✔ Judgment-free

  This isn’t just my profession — it’s my purpose.
  I believe healing ripples outward — from the inside out, from one woman to the next, across generations. When you reclaim your worth, you change your life.
