About me

My name is Dr. Kim Yazell, PhD, LCSW, LCAC. I have been a clinical therapy provider for over 17 years. I have extensive experience working with teens with anxiety/ depression issues, substance related issues, bullying issues, poor focus/ concentration, and trauma. My counseling approach is grounded in evidenced based practices which allows clients to see faster improvement and long-lasting change. Teens today face significant challenges and pressures. I love working with teens and helping them face these challenges effectively. Most importantly, I work hard to teach teens a new skillset which they can carry forward into the rest of their lives.

Dr Yazell is very engaged with my son’s life changes and upcoming events. She listens and provides valuable input to my son and me when is necessary. My son enjoys having someone to talk to openly without feeling judged. I’m very thankful for how supportive she has been with my son!

Dr Yazell is caring and sweet. She has helped me identify how to moderate stresses in my life that i can control while we journey the unknown with my son's family and his medical emergencies along with my father's health as well and how these are effecting my relationship with my spouse. She's helped to put a plan into place to allow self care and still get things done in my home. I am currently seeing her for anxiety, stress management, depression and trauma. She is always willing to listen and encourages me to care for myself. i am blessed that i have her to help navigate my feelings and actions during this difficult time.
