See what our patients are saying about Yalanda Holmes

I find that Yolanda is very easy person to open up to and talk about things with and being that she is such a very down earth person and at the same time very professional and knowledgeable I find this easy to do with her. I have had different Behavioral Health Providers over years and can honestly say that she seems to understand and relate to my background best of the others. I feel comfortable talking openly to her about my past and current situation and we seem to agree and have the same view on things we discuss at our appointments. It takes a certain type of person to be able successfully deal with patients that all have a similar condition, but come from different backgrounds that makes us who we are and she has an understanding of this and how we become products of our environment because we have discussed this and agree on this also. I have talked to her about things that I would never bring up to another provider and it’s because she is such a good listener and feel that she can relate to and capable of handling and dealing with patients who may have more of a street mentality than others. Sometimes it can work against you if you open up too much to a provider and even though it’s a Behavioral Health Provider they still may not have a complete understanding of their patients background where they come from and the patient is misread or misunderstood and the trust is lost and time to look for another provider. I knew after our first visit that she would the best match for me as my new Behavior Health Provider, so as long as she is comfortable continuing on with me as one of her patients I will stay with her. Let’s try for a year and then we will review our progress that we have made then take it next level. I need the strongest person possible right now in my corner and nothing less and she the one. That’s a real review for a real person.

Nothing but good things to say. Yalanda Holmes has been absolutely amazing. compassionate, patient, and genuinely attentive. I never feel rushed during appointments, she take the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and make sure I feel involved in my treatment plan. It’s clear that she truly cares about her patients and wants the best outcomes. Finding a healthcare provider you can trust isn’t always easy, especially in mental health. But I’m so grateful I found her! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring provider and a team that treats patients with kindness and understanding.

Yalanda is amazing. She takes the time to listen and actively explore options to make the best plan of treatment for her patients. She was able to recommend genetic testing to optimize medical therapy for me. I am feeling so much better, and my outlook is looking brighter and brighter every day! She is compassionate, down to earth, and always keeping up to date with the latest information to take the best care of people. I highly recommend speaking to her if you are not %110 satisfied with your current provider!
