Yasmeen Burnell, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

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.

Are you ready to explore mental health, enhance stress management skills, and cultivate healthier relationships? Perhaps you feel that mental health isn't directly relevant to you, but you're unsure about how to enhance your well-being. I specialize in empowering individuals to improve their body awareness and understand how daily choices impact mental health and relationships. My approach combines various therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, client-centered therapy, and somatic therapy. I integrate practices like yoga, mindfulness, and practical problem-solving skills while acknowledging cultural influences. During our sessions, may discuss past traumas and how they have influenced your perspectives. However, if you prefer not to delve deeply into these aspects, we can focus on other areas. My goal is to provide a supportive environment tailored to your needs and preferences as we work together toward your well-being and personal growth. I am here for you.
