About Me
Yssa Gillis, MSW Intern Therapist
Hello! I'm Yssa Gillis, a master of social work (MSW) student at the University of Texas at Arlington and an Intern Therapist supervised by Dr. Jennifer Vasquez, PhD, LCSW-S of Inspired Practice, LLC.
I approach my work not only as a trained professional but also as someone who has personally faced the challenges of infertility. I understand how complex, lonely, and invisible this journey can feel, which fuels my passion for providing mental health support to others navigating similar situations.
In my practice, I offer individual therapy for women experiencing pregnancy loss, infertility, and other reproductive mental health challenges. I also provide couples therapy for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused interventions, and a person-centered framework. Above all, I create a space where your experiences are honored, your pain is validated, and healing is supported at your own pace.
You don't have to carry this burden alone. Whether you're just beginning to explore therapy or returning after a long break, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy and intention.
Empowering You Through Your Journey
Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a vital space for gaining insight into your emotions, healing from past wounds, and quieting the inner critic while reconnecting with your self-worth. Together, we will explore your needs, your pace, and your goals, especially in the context of reproductive mental health and infertility challenges. I focus on providing a non-judgmental environment that empowers you through your journey in healing and also offers mental health support, including couples therapy when needed.

Relationships can provide deep connection, security, stability, and emotional support—key aspects of a healthy relationship that I strive to help you maintain through couples therapy. We understand that even the most loving relationships may encounter challenges, and this is where mental health support becomes essential. Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, tune in, and begin to rebuild connection from the inside out. Additionally, for those facing infertility, individual therapy can provide valuable reproductive mental health support, ensuring that each partner feels heard and supported.
