Are you looking for support as you grow or explore your future? My name is Colin Yaccarino, a Licensed Master Social Worker with experience helping young adults find themselves as they traverse some of the most tumultuous years of their life. Whether you are dealing with new or existing symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, or you just need some help navigating life changes as you finish up high school or prepare to move to campus, my experience working in and around this transitional period will allow me to help you learn and grow while reducing and eliminating stress. My professional experience has been with youth ages 11-23, working in trauma-informed care, with LGBTQIA+ clients, and around many diagnoses and symptoms. Please reach out to the office of my supervisor, Elana Axelrod, today!
I come with passions for working with the neurodivergent population (specifically with ADHD and Autism and unpacking a late realization), providing gender-affirming care, sex-positive counseling, disordered eating, and body image, managing and processing chronic illness, and identity work through a trauma-informed and all-inclusive perspective. As a queer, neurodiverse counselor, my experience has offered me perspectives from within the community and has given me a passion for advocacy, connection, and collaboration. While I come with passion in these areas, my work goes beyond these areas. I believe that every individual and their needs deserve space in the therapeutic setting and it is my goal to create a space.

Growing up can be challenging for adolescents- both in regards to mental health and in their relationships with peers. While mental health has become more prominent, there is often a hesitation that arises when it comes to discussing it. I offer a space, separate from their daily life and relationships, where adolescents can speak and feel heard by someone uninvolved and unbiased, but invested in being present and supportive of the adolescent. Adolescents are facing new obstacles both socially and within themselves, and while opening up can be hard, it is so important to do.
It’s exhausting to feel like the expert on your own problems but a stranger to the solution. Whether you’re worried about your relationships with those closest to you or navigating major life transitions, we’ve all felt lost at one point or another. My approach is built on the belief that change is something we make, not just something we hope will come to us. With a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a background in Psychology and Sociology, I view your symptoms as only one piece of the puzzle. It’s your individual experience that truly guides the process. My years of working as a Case Manager have shown me firsthand how life’s stressors can pile up until they feel impossible to manage. As an LMHC, I blend gold-standard clinical practices with a unique, creative edge to help my clients combat these feelings. To bridge the gap between talk and transformation, I utilize custom-designed worksheets and art therapy tools to help you process emotions in a guided, digestible way. Whether we’re untangling relationship patterns or mapping out your next chapter in life, you’ll leave our sessions with more than just new realizations and food for thought. I will provide you with a tangible roadmap, a visual guide, to help you on this journey to transformation. You don’t need to have all the answers before you walk through my virtual door. We’re going to find those together, step-by-step and at your own pace.

Life can be hard. Whether it is processing trauma or coping with stressful life situations, life can present us with many challenges. I am here to provide empathy, support, and guidance to find your inner strength and face all of life's challenges. I will collaborate with you to explore what you need to live your best life possible. Since each person comes to therapy for different reasons, my person-centered approach allows me to create a unique individual plan for treatment. I offer traditional talk therapy, employing a variety of interventions. Some of the therapeutic models I follow include, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and psychodynamic theory. I believe the relationship between the client and the therapist is most important to therapy. Therefore I strive to create a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental space where people feel comfortable and safe. I am here for you, to meet you where you are at, and help you figure out what you need. I look forward to being part of your journey to your best life.

Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can recognize your potential and live a meaningful life. I use evidenced-based therapy that focuses on the dynamics that impact your daily experience. We look for the behaviors, attitudes, and patterns that protected you in the past but no longer serve a purpose.
I believe that the foundation to effective and meaningful therapeutic work lies in the mutual building of a safe and trusting relationship in which the client feels valued, respected, and understood. Seeking therapeutic support requires a significant amount of courage. I take this seriously and feel deeply honored to be trusted to do this work and to witness the growth of those I serve. I value an inclusive and neurodiversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I have ample experience working with people from varying socioeconomic, cultural and racial backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
