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.

Therapy can provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding of our desires, needs, and inner-parts of ourselves. It is a space that allows us to set aside societal pressures to quickly “move on” from our painful experiences, who/what we’ve lost, and show up authentically. It can provide a moment to pause and reflect amidst everyday life. A place to explore areas of growth and build new habits. I don't see therapy as a one size fits all process. Although I will be a therapeutic guide, this is a collaboration where you bring something to each session.

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.
