Meet Your Therapist

Yssa Gillis, LMSW

Hi, I'm so glad you're here!

I'm a Texas-born licensed master social worker under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Vasquez, LCSW-S at Inspired Practice LLC. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Texas State University. I have a background in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and major life transitions.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based methods to ensure you are getting quality up-to-date therapy that is proven to help. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to reconnect with yourself, work through life transitions, and take meaningful steps toward growth and healing. Together we will focus on practical strategies, emotional processing, and personal insight, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my initial consultation?

A consultation is the opportunity to assess if the therapist is a good fit for you. This is your time to ask any questions, talk about your reasons for attending therapy, and what you expect to gain from therapy.

Do you accept insurance?

No. At this time I only accept private pay.

What are the fees?

All 15-minute initial consultations are free. My current rate for a typical 53-minute individual session is $150 and $200 per session for couples.

How can I pay for sessions?

All major credit cards are accepted.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes. I believe that therapy should be accessible. I am currently offering a few sliding scale spots.

Where are you located?

I am based out of Austin, Texas but at this time I only offer virtual therapy. I provide virtual therapy to anyone who resides in Texas.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require 24 hours advance notice to cancel appointments.
