Mrs. Ysabel Hinojosa Licensed Professional Counselor Associate

Mrs. Ysabel Hinojosa, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, 91218 is practicing under the supervision of Carissa Cano (Texas, LPC-S, 68286) at Self-Employed/Private Practice.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

In my therapy approach, I blend the logical and creative sides of your brain. During our sessions, you'll pick up practical tools to handle tough situations, navigate emotions, and tackle issues like anxiety or feeling down. We'll zoom in on your body's signals, decoding what it's trying to tell you about your wants and needs. By exploring both aspects, we can uncover patterns in the situations that stress you out most, giving you the power to tackle them before things hit a breaking point. I center my work around the mind-body connection and mindfulness, recognizing the real-life impact it can have. As we navigate the craziness of our life, it's easy to lose touch with ourselves and get caught up in the next big thing. Sound familiar? Ever found yourself cruising through life, only to suddenly realize you're at your destination without really experiencing the journey? Being mindfully present lets you soak in the sights, smells, tastes, sounds, and feels of the world around you. I'm all about helping you reconnect with yourself and the world, striving for a life that's not just existence but a vibrant, fully lived experience. Let's take a breather, be in the moment, and savor the good stuff. Life's too short to just coast through it.

In our first session together will start off with some housekeeping, where you can ask questions about the process, my methods, or policies. Afterwards we'll dive straight into an "intake" where I'll begin to ask a lot of questions about who you are in order to get to know you better. This will help us better determine the best path or paths for your therapy journey. Depending on what you want to focus on in therapy, I provide you with some relevant resources after the first session. These resources are for you to skim over and see what is valuable for you, and help guide as we begin to dive into the next session.

Therapy is a place to talk about anything and everything. Maybe you want to go back to your childhood and break down this one particular part that you can't seem to move past. Something in your life might not feel right, and you just need a place to explore that without judgement. There might be a sexual interest that you want to explore before implementing into the bedroom with your partner(s). This is a place for you to talk about the thing that is hard to talk about anywhere else--because it's supposed to be your safe place.

If you've never dared to explore therapy for yourself or your relationship before, this is the place where you can uncover what you need without any expectations or the burden of "staying on track." Here, I embrace every aspect of you or your relationship, encouraging you to bring forth your deepest desires. Together, we'll create a path towards new insights, change long-held patterns, and empower you to create a fulfilling life. ​ Maybe you have tried therapy in the past and didn't get the end result you were looking for because it felt uncomfortable or unproductive. I can pick up right where you left off/or are ready to start, and help you do something different to discover peace within yourself or your relationship. My approach revolves around the powerful mind-body connection and the practice of mindfulness. We'll dive straight into the topics needed to create change, but at a pace that makes sense for you. It's time to find the tools and begin the process you need to get there.​ I know you have the natural ability to heal and thrive under the right circumstances. I provide an environment that caters to your unique soul or relationship. Wherever you find yourself today, I want you to know that change and growth is possible.
