About

I’m a psychotherapist and the founder of Resilient Mind Psychotherapy, on a mission to transform our society’s relationship to mental health. Dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder from an early age, motivated me to become a therapist and spread awareness of mental health issues. I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University in 2012. In an effort to help reduce mental health stigma I created a Facebook group that provided women with a positive outlet to anonymously ask questions pertaining to mental health and relationships. Today “GroupTherapyByYana” has over 10,000 female members with over 2,000 anonymous concerns.
