Life has a way throwing curve balls. From unexpected challenges to fluctuating deadlines, life sometimes causes us to feel like we are aiming for a moving target. Relationships are guaranteed to have pitfalls that can surprise anyone. Trauma often is the leftover when a home or society is not welcoming, when violence has been perpetrated on you, or when you are faced with overwhelming loss. You will need access to your internal resources when addressing past and present trauma. Living life with a centered mindfulness can help guide you to wholeness.

Whether you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, or other concerns, I will work with you to establish realistic, manageable goals so you can move toward the life you desire. I offer both individual and couples therapy, including premarital counseling. If you’re looking to experience overall growth and well-being or as a couple, I encourage you to schedule an appointment. My hope is that as a result of our time together, you will develop a deeper understanding of the challenges you’re facing, learn the necessary tools to overcome those issues, and gain peace to walk in your God-given purpose.

Over the past year we have experienced a pandemic, economic crisis, uprising against racial injustice and political instability. This is collective trauma. You may also be grieving the loss of a loved one, experiencing job loss, isolation, relationship difficulties or other challenges of day-to-day living that leave you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Therapy can help. Whether you need help making a change, are grieving a loss, struggling to communicate with loved ones, or are just feeling stuck, I can help you find creative solutions to not only cope and survive, but thrive during these difficult times.

Are you being held back from thriving in your life due to devastating despair? As a video game therapist, I can tell you that there is hope. My name is Leticia Vasquez (LCSW) and I help people to (re-)discover, accept, and embrace their authentic selves. By understanding your problematic thinking/behavioral patterns plus aligning with your core values, you can enact lasting, positive change in your life. However, in order for me to support you to the best of my ability, you must be willing to face one of the greatest human fears: the unknown. Fear not, as we will confront that dread in a way that is challenging yet manageable.

By seeking outside support, you've already taken one of the hardest steps on the healing journey. It takes courage to turn inward, face our present struggles, and open ourselves up to change. Unprocessed pain can create feelings of stuckness and negative thought patterns that worsen self-esteem. Therapy can help you understand how you got to this point, and how to identify and reframe the belief-systems and habits that are no longer serving you. These shifts create room for growth and can restore a sense of empowerment and agency over one's life.

I am passionate about helping a child or teen struggling to manage emotional or behavioral disturbances. They may be struggling with depression or anxiety that comes as a result of trauma or significant loss, or that arises out of every day pressure to do well in school or extracurriculars.

I want my clients (and their families) to be motivated to participate and engage in sessions, and practice learned skills in their home, school, and community. I hope my clients develop self confidence and begin to take ownership over treatment, and over their mental health.
