Kellie has a niche of supporting woman who are mother's to be before, during, and after
pregnancy

Life is filled with a multitude of experiences in which one is unfortunate to fall backwards than to fall forwards. From that point one determines how their next steps in life will be. Whether struggling with parenting strategies, understanding what it means to manage a current/past traumatic experience, or contemplate the question "Why me?" Using a holistic approach supports a person both internally and externally. Mind, body, and soul. Health of the whole-being is wealth, I encourage anyone who seeks therapy to be motivated and ready to work. "Healing is dependent upon the person who seeks it."-Kellie Vazquez

Relationships get stuck in cycles and patterns. They can feel oppressive, bland, limiting or severe. Sometimes the closest relationships are filled with pain and distance. You might be having the same conversation over and over again without any resolution. It’s becoming disappointingly predictable. The bliss of being together is missing, and you’re not sure anymore if you and your partner are really there for each other. Everything is feeling dull and challenging, instead of bright and exciting.

Psychologist, PsyD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been practicing for over 20 years. In my experience, those seeking therapy are looking for answers for how better to navigate their lives to ease emotional pain and find fulfillment within their lives. I believe that life's hurts primarily occur in relation to others and that healing often comes through relationship as well, sometimes by seeking a professional's guidance. You may discover that having someone walk alongside you in your journey for a time, acting as a witness to your stories, is an invaluable gift.

I thrive in working with teens, children, parents and women around disordered eating, anxiety, body image issues, and trauma, in order to uncover one's most true potential, healing and wholeness. When working with parents, I often find myself helping them discover the ways their own wounds potentially have impacted their parenting struggles.

space.
Navigating life can be complicated. Whether you are a parent, about to become a parent, thinking about starting a family, or the child of a growing family...everyone could use some support from time to time. Relationships change over time - with others and with ourselves. Add emotions into the mix and some days we might not know which way to go. I am here to help guide your journey. The road is bound to have less than smooth portions, but together we can ensure you are always moving forward!

You might have arrived here: feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled in your life, struggling to break free of depression, anxiety, self-abandonment, holding back because of fear and self-doubt, finding it difficult to feel comfortable in your skin, exhausted carrying the weight & pain of the generations before you, unsure of where you belong at the intersections and in-betweens of your identity, feeling trapped by the oppressive systems that rob you of your joy, longing to feel restored, nurtured and nourished. You know you were meant for so much more than this. You deserve a life beyond struggle, scarcity, and self-sacrifice.

The process of therapy can be a powerful, life-changing experience. As we grow through gaining self-awareness, many of us seek balance from the head to the heart. We are all capable of conscious growth and seek support through connection. Whether your experience has been emotional, spiritual or physical pain, surviving trauma, broken relationships or addiction, there is healing to be discovered from our challenging experiences. Exploration of the self may inspire, transform, generate, and offer insight toward a conscious and whole-hearted life.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
