Sanctuary Mental Health Counseling PLLC

It is my mission to make counseling as comfortable, easy and accessible as possible for you. Most therapists charge well into hundreds of dollars for a single session and require weekly appointments. I am offering an affordable solution, with appointments weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly based on what works best for you, so you can get the care you need with no hassle. I believe counseling should be a calming and positive experience; not create more stress for the client.

I am dedicated to providing you with a safe and healing therapeutic relationship.

My name is Yasmin Rose Botte. I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received a BA in Psychology and an MA in Mental Health Counseling from the CUNY College of Staten Island. The program included concentrations in areas of grief and loss, addictions and career counseling. I have had additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

My theoretical orientation is a mix of Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness-Based, Person-Centered and Psychodynamic practices.

My experience in the mental health field includes work in a center for victims of violence, providing individual and group therapy at an inpatient/ outpatient psychiatric facility, at a private practice providing therapy to adults, adolescents, couples and families, and providing distance therapy to clients via e-mail, phone and video counseling.
