Yvon Roland, LPC
Cultivating meaningful relationships by living an intentional and joy-filled internal journey…
Hi! I’m Yvon, your Self-Compassion Advocate! My personal journey to self-compassion has been an amazing rollercoaster (AND I do NOT like rollercoasters!!) that I believe I should share my learnings and professional training to help others.
Every individual should see themselves as a whole being and not just as the roles that they hold in life situations (i.e., parent, spouse, employee, etc.) With this in mind, I encourage each client (including couples and families) to embrace all of who they are to release the idea that their worth, purpose and identity is conditional. We all deserve to look in the “mirror” and see a beautiful reflection of self without scrutiny.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for many years as a project manager in marketing and design. When I made the career decision to shift out of corporate positions, it was intentional and purposeful. The joy I experienced in supporting my teams beyond project deadlines inspired me to explore a career in guiding individuals on their mental wellness journeys. I knew that the lessons I learned in my career along with my MA in Community Counseling would be the right ticket to me becoming a licensed professional therapist. Everyday I strive to be present and beneficial to my community within and beyond my therapy office.
