My Approach to Helping
As Yasmeen, with sanctYOUary, my approach to healing is rooted in a deep understanding of each individual as a whole person within their environment and natural supports. With nine years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker across outpatient therapy, residential settings, and crisis stabilization, I bring a wealth of expertise to our sessions.
My journey in mental health and substance abuse began with a recognition of how minorities are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. This fuels my commitment to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care.
At the heart of my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives, possessing the innate ability to improve their circumstances. My role is to provide a supportive space where clients can explore their strengths, challenges, and aspirations.
I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive and behavioral restructuring, crisis intervention, and holistic practices such as yoga. By addressing mental, emotional, and physical well-being, we work towards holistic healing and growth.
Through collaborative exploration and empowerment, I guide clients toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, honoring each individual's unique path toward healing.
