Yesenia Vazquez

 I am an experienced and dedicated psychotherapist specializing in assisting adolescents and adults in navigating various life challenges and addressing mental health issues. For the past five years, I have specialized in helping individuals work through trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, divorce, adjustment concerns, career changes, and many other challenges. I employ a combination of various evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Centered Behavioral Therapy (TCBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic approaches.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and dual Master’s degrees in Clinical Social Work & Criminal Justice from the University of Central Florida, I bring a comprehensive understanding of human experiences and the systems that shape them. In pursuit of enhancing my knowledge and expertise in the field, I am currently working towards my PhD in Clinical Psychology.
In my leisure time, I enjoy traveling, going to the gym, attending basketball games, and spending time with my loved ones. These experiences enrich my understanding of the world and inform my approach to therapy.

To me, communication is key in our therapeutic relationship, and my style is assertive yet compassionate. I believe that the relationship with my client is the driving force for change. Therefore, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. Together, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on your personal goals. If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I invite you to take the first step towards a blossoming future. Together, we can navigate and overcome life’s challenges, by emphasizing your strengths. Remember, your present circumstances don’t determine where you go, they merely determine where you start. I look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey.
