I’m Charla Yearwood (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana and Tennessee with more than 15 years of experience in mental health care. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Tennessee and a Bachelor's from Ball State University. I'm EMDR-certified, trained in ACT and solution-focused therapy, and deeply committed to trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.

In addition to my clinical practice, I’m also a clinical supervisor, educator, and therapy trainer, supporting the development of emerging therapists with a focus on inclusive, anti-oppressive practice. I lead continuing education workshops and provide training to clinicians across the country.

Why I Do This Work

This work is deeply personal to me. As a wife, mother, and multi-business entrepreneur, I recognize the layered pressures that many clients carry related to identity, family roles, career demands, and burnout.

Therapy shouldn’t feel scripted or surface-level. It can be honest, grounded, and tailored to who you are and what you need.

I offer support to those who are ready to stop running on empty and start creating space for clarity, healing, and meaningful change.
