​​​​Dr. Yolanda Adwoa, PhD

Family Research Health Psychologist | Marriage & Family Therapy 

Work With Me

I support individuals, mothers, fathers, couples, parents, and children/adolescents navigating psychological health, family well-being, and — for some families — the added demands of medical complexity, neurodivergence, disability, or feeding and eating concerns.

Psychotherapy
I am currently a Marriage & Family Therapy clinician under supervision, providing psychotherapy in Virginia through Arise Counseling Center, with services expanding to North Carolina upon licensure. If you're seeking therapy — for yourself, your relationship, or your family — I'm glad to discuss whether this is the right fit or offer a referral.
