Hi! I'm Yama, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of clinical and administrative experience spanning adult-gerontology, post-acute nursing, and advanced psychiatric care. My background is deeply interdisciplinary, which means I bring a broad, well-rounded perspective to every person I work with.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a rich background in school social work, foster youth support, and community mental health, I am deeply dedicated to helping families and children of all ages reach their full potential. My diverse experience allows me to understand the unique challenges facing youth and families today. I specialize in providing trauma-informed care and helping individuals navigate complex life transitions, emotional hurdles, and behavioral challenges in a supportive framework.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner with a PhD, and I've spent ten years working with people who are genuinely tired of feeling like they should have figured this out by now. I work virtually with clients throughout Virginia, and I take a different approach than most therapists: I consider myself part clinician, part teacher. My goal isn't just for you to feel better in session — it's for you to leave understanding yourself well enough that you don't need me forever. I work with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns. I'm also a proud affirming provider for LGBTQ+ clients and believe good therapy should be accessible to everyone — which is why I've built in morning, afternoon, and evening availability.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
(CCTP) providing outpatient therapy for adults. For more than 22 years, I have been dedicated to
supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those facing complex life
challenges, trauma, ADHD, substance use, military-related challenges, women’s health issues,
legal system involvement, and severe mental health concerns.
Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Maternal Mental Health Therapist in Richmond, VA
Finding postpartum therapists in Richmond starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Postpartum care can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with maternal mental health, perinatal care, postpartum counseling, or work as a therapist for moms. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training.
Richmond offers both local and virtual options, which can help you find care that fits your schedule, location, and preferences. For many new parents, virtual therapy can make appointments easier to attend while managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, specialties, and communication style before you book.
Postpartum counseling in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Richmond therapists who focus on postpartum concerns and offer upfront cost estimates after your coverage is verified. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan and area. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
