My name is Jamie Yates and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I'm trained in DBT, CBT, and ACT. I use an eclectic approach that focuses on how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect our lives. I generally work with teenagers and adults with depression, anxiety, and/or Borderline Personality Disorder. I utilize a laid back approach with gentle encouragement for change in areas that my clients have identified as concerns. I was drawn to being a therapist due to natural skills I have of listening and nonjudgment of others. I am driven to help others improve their lives and find helping others to be truly rewarding. I work with my clients to set goals and identify areas of change. During the first session a client should expect to be able to share what they are comfortable with sharing while answering some questions to help me build understanding of their concerns and needs in therapy.
