Hi, I’m Yev Buzhor, Supervisee in Social Work, MSW. I work with adults and teens navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, grief, or facing more complex mental health concerns. I also work with couples and families who need support, strengthening communication and connection, dealing with adoption, foster care, and attachment disruptions, or are facing challenges related to unconventional relationship structures, such as polyamory and non-monogamy. I am especially passionate about helping clients navigate periods of heightened vulnerability and complexity.
I employ a holistic approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and person-centered modalities, to help clients understand how their experience and context inform current patterns and beliefs that may be keeping them stuck, build resilience, and develop practical tools to allow them to take agency over their personal growth.
Finding a therapist who understands your unique situation and can meet you where you are can feel daunting! My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate therapeutic environment where clarity and empowerment guide the work we do together.
"As a nonbinary person, I have a grounded experience in taking agency over self-exploration and personal growth through the process of healing trauma and fostering a supportive community."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I became a counselor because I wanted to help people overcome damaging life circumstances to become the person they feel like they are meant to be.
What types of clients do you work best with?
I work best with clients who are motivated towards change but struggle with shame and limiting beliefs.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish all clients knew that therapy is a collaborative process that requires vulnerability and effort from both the therapist and the client.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
Clients can expect the time spent in our first session and in the early stages of therapy to be focused on building rapport and connection towards a strong therapeutic relationship.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
As a therapist, my practice is informed by my values of personal autonomy, social justice, and radical understanding.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
In order to meet each client's unique needs, I tailor therapy to focus on each client's lived experience, personal strengths, and the changes they want to see in their own lives.
