My name is Julissa. I am a therapist at Aspire To Wellness Behavioral Health. I am an LMSW with a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from SUNY Old Westbury. One of my favorite self-care activities is roller skating. It is something I used to do as a child. As a teenager, I became deeply passionate about helping others & learning how the brain works, which led me to pursue a career as a therapist. I want to foster an environment that removes the negative stigma associated with seeking therapy and support. My specialization is anxiety & trauma, & my focus is working with teens & adults. I facilitate individuals' healing journeys and support them in achieving their personal goals. I also provide telehealth services. I also work with individuals struggling with ADHD (inattentive type), PTSD, Social Anxiety, Childhood and Adult trauma, Communication skills, and Low Self-Esteem. I use therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I am excited that you are taking this leap and letting me join you on your healing journey. I am excited to meet and work with you.
