Maria Vazquez

I’m Maria, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over twelve years of experience working with families, children, and adults. My work has focused on breaking generational cycles of trauma and navigating challenging life transitions. In my work I have supported individuals and families through growing up, raising their children, and bringing healing and harmony into the home. I am deeply passionate about helping others on their journeys toward personal growth and a better quality of life and consider it a gift to be an agent of change.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a working mother of a college student and clinically supervise and train other clinicians. This experience gives me a unique perspective and understanding on navigating life transitions and balancing multiple roles.

My approach is warm, affirmative, and solution-oriented – with some humor mixed in. While it can feel intimidating to take that first step, if you are ready, I can guide you in finding areas of strength while also challenging areas for growth in a compassionate way. Together we can work toward healing in a safe environment and create positive change to improve your quality of life.

The journey to personal growth can feel intimidating and can sometimes include challenging and uncomfortable conversations; my goal is to meet you with compassion and understanding to build a trusting space where you feel seen and understood. Because I believe that an environment for healing needs to feel safe and supportive, my style is warm but firm, offering effective strategies in order to gently challenge unhealthy patterns and create meaningful change.

In our first session we'll spend some time getting to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. Together we will explore your goals and develop plans for how to achieve them. You can expect a collaborative and supportive experience where you will be encouraged and challenged to explore new perspectives and engage in self-reflection in order to make meaningful changes.
