Ciarra Yancey, MA, LPC, Therapist in Richmond Heights, Missouri

Ciarra Yancey, LPC works with individuals 4-25 years of age. She has worked with a variety of children and their families which include working with individuals in the foster care system, children who have experienced significant trauma, and children with behavioral and emotional disorders. She has also worked with children on the autism spectrum in a school setting. Ciarra is passionate about working with children and their families to help them build strong, trusting relationships. She believes that healthy relationships are key to living happy, fulfilling lives. She realizes that it takes a collaborative effort with the child, caregiver(s), and support system to yield positive results in therapy. She is also passionate about client-centered work. She firmly believes in ensuring the physical and emotional needs of the individual are met throughout the therapeutic process. This is her primary focus because she has found in her work that when the individual’s needs are not met, this may stunt their ability to fully engage in therapy.

Ciarra makes it a goal to meet the client where they are and include them in the treatment process.
