Personal Profile

Welcome to my corner of the digital world. I'm Yolanda Green, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) deeply committed to helping individuals navigate the challenges of addiction and find their path to recovery. My journey in the field of substance abuse counseling began with a spark of curiosity and a desire to make a difference. It was at Southern University of New Orleans where I first delved into the intricate landscape of substance abuse, earning my associate degree in Substance Abuse in 2007. This initial step laid the groundwork for what would become a lifelong passion and dedication to supporting individuals in their journey toward healing. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a genuine interest in understanding human behavior, I pursued further education, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2011.  This interdisciplinary background provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the psychological, emotional, and social factors underlying addiction, empowering me to approach counseling from a holistic perspective.

 Eager to deepen my expertise and refine my skills, I continued my academic pursuits, earning a master’s degree in human science in 2019. This advanced training equipped me with specialized knowledge in evidence-based practices, research methodologies, and advanced counseling techniques, enabling me to provide tailored, effective support to individuals grappling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. In 2020, I achieved a significant milestone by obtaining my LCDC license, a testament to my unwavering commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in my practice. This credential not only represents years of hard work and dedication but also serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking guidance and support on their journey to recovery. In 2021, I decided to embark on another step in my career by stepping out on faith to open my own practice. This leap of faith has allowed me to create a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals can feel empowered to confront their challenges and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse individuals from all walks of life, each with their own unique struggles and triumphs. Guided by compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact, I approach each client with an open heart and a personalized approach to treatment. Beyond my clinical work, I am deeply invested in community outreach, advocacy, and education initiatives aimed at raising awareness about addiction, reducing stigma, and promoting access to quality treatment and support services for individuals and families in need. Join me as we embark on a journey of healing, growth, and transformation. Together, we can overcome the challenges of addiction and create a brighter, healthier future for ourselves and our communities.
