AVANT COUNSELING
Yvonne Wachowicz
LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I believe that the key to success in therapy is fostering a real and genuine connection between therapist and client. This starts with making sure I am a match for you. Here's a bit about me:
​
Professionally: As a nationally certified Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in clients with anxiety and depressive disorders, in addition to those struggling with relational issues and difficult life transitions. My prior career experience has included supporting individuals with crises in inpatient settings, substance use within the criminal justice system, and managing psychosis and mood disorders in outpatient settings. My diverse experience cemented a commitment to being a non-judgmental professional that can create a safe and challenging space for each client to reach their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help clients create new pathways in the brain, challenge patterns that keep clients stuck, and new ways of being with oneself. Through collaborative interventions, I work towards helping clients develop useful insight and work towards more meaningful and fulfilling lives and relationships. I adopt a more conversational and explorative approach in my work with clients, and find that the clients I work best with are those with a desire to be introspective, explorative, and open to challenge and change.
​
Personally: (She/Her) I was born and raised in Texas, and am also a first-generation child. My marriage is interracial, and I am a very proud mother of two sons (and one dog). I am a sci-fi junkie, public radio is always on in my car, and I love to binge Netflix dramas.
