About Julissa Aquan

I am a licensed therapist based in New York, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, courage, and clarity.

I specialize in supporting clients through significant life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, and emotional distress. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique story. I believe healing occurs when we feel truly seen and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can explore, grow, and reconnect with their inner strength.

My work is grounded in a holistic and culturally responsive framework that honors the connection between identity, experience, and emotional well-being. Drawing from evidence-based practices and a foundation of empathy, I help clients uncover new insights, build resilience, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery, and I am committed to supporting meaningful and lasting transformation. I look forward to connecting and supporting you as you take this important step toward positive change.
