Dr. Rene Vazquez

I am a doctoral level psychotherapist/supervisor/& author, who has been working in the mental health field for over 40 years with vast experience and training in multiple forms of therapy from individual, couple to family therapy. I have taught at the university and supervised many clinicians. I have specialized in Trauma work and understand not only what goes on inside the person's mind, but I also have a keen, sharp understanding of the cultural issues in society which affect us as well.

My approach is humanistic, progressive but also psychodynamic, with a bio/psycho/social/cultural approach to understanding client's difficulties. I practice cultural humility and treat clients with utmost respect.

Clients will take away a better understanding of how thoughts affect their emotions, but also how our defenses affect our feelings, which in turn affects our behaviors. The goal of a good therapy is to integrate thoughts with our feelings within a mind, body, spirit framework. Cognitive behavioral techniques will also be employed to immediately address emotional struggles.
