Yesselis is a psychotherapist who values autonomy and believes in helping people unearth their unique strengths that have been buried by stress, trauma, societal standards, or oppression. She believes in empowering people to find purpose and live meaningful lives.
Yesselis is bilingual (English/Spanish). She has experience in supporting veteran families, like her own, caregivers, women, children, adults, BIPOC, issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, attachment injuries, and trauma (colonial and cultural, developmental, combat, disaster-related, and domestic violence).
In addition to a strength-based perspective, Yesselis uses a relational, person-centered approach and combines modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Clinical Complex Trauma. Yesselis is also certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1, in which she helps people explore the interconnectedness of attachment injuries and traumatic experiences with memory, thought, body movement and sensations, and how the body interprets and responds to such experiences.
Yesselis earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Western New Mexico University, and she earned her Master of Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work.
