Our Founder

Yolanda Boyles is the founder of ROI OKC and a therapist with 11 years of counseling experience. She is currently under supervision as a LADC and focuses on addiction, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, anger management, oppositional defiant behavior, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and child play therapy.

Throughout her career, she has worked with individuals spanning in age, from 4 years old to 65+, with a variety of backgrounds and needs. This diverse experience has led Yolanda to become passionate about giving back to her community and inspired her to create a nonprofit that fosters autonomy and independence for those seeking to enter the workforce.

Yolanda earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Langston University and has been doing taxes for clients for over 20 years. In addition, she holds several certifications including Ohio Risk Assessment System Community Supervision Tool Certified in Drug Court Assessments, American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), Addiction Severity Index (ASI) as well as memberships including Mental Health First Aid Youth, National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), Psychology Today, American Counseling Association (ACA), and the Oklahoma Counseling Association (OCA).

Yolanda is a proud mother of three children and grandmother to three grandchildren. In her free time, she volunteers with One Church, One Child and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
