Hello, my name is Manny Vázquez, and I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2002. In that time, I have worked as a child and family therapist. Since December of 2019, I have had a private practice in Upland, CA. I have several specialties, including with ages 0 (pregnant) to age 5 children, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I am trained in working with individuals who have severe trauma. I have also worked with many people who have anxiety and depression.
I love doing narrative therapy, which is exactly what is sounds like. This is where I listen carefully to your story, whatever that story is. Then, I work with you to challenge thoughts that are no helpful, and I help you solve problems in your life that are causing you distress.
In your first session, I will get to know you, listening carefully to what brings you to therapy, which is a big step. I listen first, and I learn what is bothering you from your perspective. I believe that only in knowing the extent of your problems can I even begin to help you solve them.
