Enitan Yarbrough

Clinical Trainee
I am currently a graduate student in the LPCC (Counseling & Psychological Services) program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota (Minneapolis campus) and will begin practicum training in fall 2026. I bring years of experience in special education as a teacher, coordinator, and postsecondary instructor across K–12 and higher education settings. My professional background has centered on supporting adolescents, young adults, and families navigating disability, trauma, systemic oppression, and institutional harm. As I transition into clinical counseling, I approach practicum with humility, curiosity, and a commitment to integrating theory into relational and embodied clinical practice. My clinical interests focus on working with Black-identifying adolescents and young adults impacted by racialized trauma, structural violence, economic oppression, and educational harm. I am drawn to liberation-oriented, anti-oppressive, and de-colonial approaches that understand distress as relational, historical, embodied, and systemic rather than rooted in individual deficit. I am especially interested in Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, body-based approaches, mindfulness-based interventions, and group and community-based healing practices because they create space for self-actualization, empowerment, and collective healing. These modalities resonate with me because they honor the full humanity of individuals and communities, support meaning-making and embodied wellness, and encourage people to reclaim agency, identity, and connection in ways that foster both personal growth and communal liberation. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing with my dog, Kosey, staying active, being outside, riding my mopeds, grilling, listening to music, attending concerts, learning guitar, and being involved in my community.
