Jimi Colon Vazquez

I have worked with a wide variety of people in my work so far. The most common theme has been trauma and trauma-related issues such as PTSD, stress management, and mood disorders. I am also passionate about helping those in my immediate community which includes but is not limited to: LGBTQUIA+, Hispanic/Latine, and ADHD/Autism.

I prefer to approach my clients on a level playing field. We are both involved in the establishment and execution of treatment goals. I do not wish to examine what may be "wrong" with someone and instead look at it from a perspective of what someone has experienced that led them to this point in their life.

The first session is spent getting to know each other. This includes allowing clients to ask questions about myself that could help someone feel more comfortable working with me on their treatment goals. As much as I want to know what the client wants to work on, I also understand the importance of establishing trust in a therapeutic relationship and will spend as much time as needed to make sure that foundation is set before diving into deeper waters.
