Yslande Vilsaint
Life can throw challenging situations at us that may sometimes feel overwhelming. It’s natural to feel weighed down when facing these difficulties alone. For many, opening up to friends and family can seem intimidating. That’s why I’m here—to offer a warm, welcoming space where you can share your story comfortably. I am a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut with over twelve years of experience working with clients from various backgrounds. I enjoy connecting with people of different ages and cultures. Being culturally sensitive is important to me, and I value learning about my clients’ unique cultural backgrounds. I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family problems, and self-esteem challenges.
