Hello! My name is Yasmeen Elbanna (yes-meen el-ben-nah), and I am an associate marriage and family therapist.

Taking the first step to start therapy isn't an easy one, so give yourself recognition because you deserve it.

I've worked in diverse settings helping individuals with different struggles such as, anxiety, gender identity and sexuality, substance use and eating disorders.
If you are an adult struggling with anxiety and stress, self-esteem, sexuality, eating disorders or body image- Lets connect! I believe that having a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and identity is the foundation to experiencing freedom within yourself. Having a space where you feel empowered and learn practical skills that create positive, long-lasting change in your life rather than just temporary relief.

I believe that the key to finding inner strength and balance is within all of us. I specialize in empowering people who suffer from addiction, substance abuse, and mood disorders (anxiety, depression, anger) to take control of their lives. Substance abuse and addiction is a disease that effects the entire family, therefore family counseling and co-dependence therapy is a very important part of my treatment.

Feeling stuck? Do you find yourself spiraling between depression and anxiety? Trouble with relationships, making decisions, being truly 'present' in your daily life, or emotionally overwhelmed? Are you acting out in ways that do not serve you? The truth is, when we experience chronic stress or trauma, especially early on in life, our nervous system can get stuck - often causing us to feel completely out of control or completely shut down. My commitment is to help you get un-stuck. I'd love to help you heal.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
