Getting to know Yssis El

My focus is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where adults feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals experiencing adjustment disorder, anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional concerns. I believe people have an incredible capacity for healing and growth when they have the support and space to explore their experiences, recognize their strengths, and move toward meaningful change. My approach is holistic, person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and mind-body techniques based on each client’s needs and goals. I help clients develop greater emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, recognize patterns, and create meaningful changes that align with their values. My goal is to meet each client where they are while providing practical tools, encouragement, and compassionate support.
