Yulissa’s role as a therapist is to provide a safe, trusting environment, in which your views as a client are respected and upheld as valuable and significant. Yulissa’s approach to counseling will consist of evidence-based approaches to best fit an individual, child, or family in order to prove healing. Yulissa  approaches counseling in a collaborative manner; coming together to explore changes and goals that are needed to reach the quality of living and functioning that one hopes for. Yulissa views people in a holistic manner, taking into account their physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. As we sift through all of these dimensions in life, Yulissa’s hope is for you to discover your uniqueness as an individual while balancing autonomy

and connection with others.
