Todd Yordy, MA, LPCC-S

No one can escape the pain and suffering this world has to offer. I strive to combine the gifts and opportunities God has given me to help others navigate life’s storms.

Areas of counseling I am most passionate about are anxiety disorders.
Because I have suffered from anxiety myself and I know how debilitating it can be.

Philosophy of Counseling

As a society I think we need to shift from the mindset “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” I believe the foundation for the unhealthy decisions we make as adults is rooted in the experiences we had in our formative years. If we were taught unhealthy messages, we will make unhealthy decisions and respond to stressors in unhealthy ways. I think it is crucial to become aware of, and work towards resolving, our early childhood experiences. Healing begins when we realize that our struggles are not who we are, but are a product of what happened to us.
