Meet Yvonne

Yvonne Roberto is a therapist who comes from a family of educators, and that influence shaped the way she approaches this work. Service, curiosity, and helping others grow have always been central to her path. She believes therapy should feel like a place where people can slow down, reflect, and discover parts of themselves they may not have known were there.

Yvonne is passionate about creating an emotionally safe and trusting environment where clients feel comfortable being fully themselves. She understands that growth takes courage, and she sees it as a privilege to support people as they explore their experiences and begin to move toward change. Watching clients discover new insights about themselves and develop confidence in their ability to grow is one of the most meaningful parts of her work.

Yvonne works with individuals, teens, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or the emotional weight of difficult experiences. Her hope is that clients leave sessions feeling supported, understood, and encouraged by the possibility of growth.

Yvonne has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and completed a Master’s Degree in Counseling through Grand Canyon University.

Throughout her professional work in community mental health, Yvonne has supported individuals and families across a range of therapeutic settings. Her experience includes intake assessment, crisis planning, and ongoing therapy for youth and adults navigating emotional challenges, trauma, and life stressors.

Her work has also included substance use counseling and family-focused support services, where she helped clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful plans for stability and growth.

Yvonne’s approach integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, which help clients explore patterns of thinking, strengthen emotional regulation skills, and build practical tools for everyday life.

It’s amazing to help clients discover something about themselves that they never knew existed. It’s so rewarding to support growth, change, and healing.

Yvonne describes her style in the therapy room as collaborative and reflective. She works alongside clients rather than directing them, creating space for open conversation, insight, and self-discovery. She believes therapy works best when clients feel respected, heard, and empowered to move at their own pace.

One of the skills she most enjoys teaching is emotional regulation. Helping people learn how to understand and respond to their emotions in healthier ways can transform how they move through everyday life. These skills often become the foundation for deeper healing and personal growth.

Yvonne believes strongly in progress, not perfection. Healing is rarely linear, and growth often happens through small steps, new awareness, and patience with ourselves along the way.

The values that guide her work include respect for autonomy, trust, humility, authenticity, gentleness, and cultural competence. She believes therapy should honor each person’s identity, lived experience, and unique path forward.

In Yvonne’s words:

A quote I love: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein
