Dana B. Foster is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for Oak Path Counseling Group, PLLC who specializes in anxiety as well as depression, and has seen children, teens and adults for at least 25 years. She graduated from UNC Charlotte and received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology/Social Work in 1981 as well as her Master’s Degree of Education in Counseling in May, 1995.

In working with people, she has predominately used a cognitive behavioral approach, which is a problem-focused approach designed to help clients identify and change their dysfunctional beliefs, thoughts, and patterns of behavior that contribute to their current problems.

Dana believes counseling is both a helping relationship and a process of change. It is a joint effort between the counselor and the client which takes a lot of hard work and energy. In order to be successful, it is highly important to establish trust and empathy with clients in a work environment where they may feel comfortable expressing themselves and issues of concern.

Yasmin Belk is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Associate licensed in the state of North Carolina. Previously she was a preschool teacher assistant for multiple classrooms and also an aid in working with children who have special needs. This role, alongside her training as a counselor at North Carolina State University’s Counseling Master’s program, provided great insight into working with children and the communication within families. She has a great passion for helping kids and teens as she is a firm believer in proactively building healthy coping and mental health skills for the future!

This being said, Yasmin also loves working with families according to the adage, “When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower” (Alexander Den Heijer). Working with the entire system is therefore very important. She is a very family oriented counselor and is always looking out for the best interest of the client. She seeks to find ways that all members of a family system can aid in the therapeutic process and ultimately learn from, as well as work with, one another.

Yasmin utilizes a number of theories in the therapeutic process, but primarily operates from a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach since this guides the path for a positive mindset, as well as DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) as she finds it is helpful with managing intense emotions and improving mindfulness.
