Ylissa Aquino

My communication style

I create a safe space where you can freely talk about how you feel without worrying about being judged. I listen to you and help you understand why you do certain things and what scares you. Together, we figure out what's stopping you from living a happy life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose to become a therapist because I believe that in helping others heal, I also find healing for myself. Supporting others through their struggles and guiding them toward positive change brings me a sense of fulfillment and growth.

My goals for you

I know that you are ready to graduate from therapy when you have gained insight, are better able to manage your issues, and you are using the coping skills learned outside of therapy. Goal setting is a partnership and is also flexible to address your needs.

Our first session

Your first therapy session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about your background, family, and current challenges. I'll want to understand what you hope to achieve through therapy and any specific goals you have.
