Yesenia Vazquez

Hello and welcome—I’m Yesenia Vazquez, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. I hold a Master’s in Psychology from Pace University and completed advanced training in Mental Health Counseling at Long Island University. My practice is grounded in warmth, cultural responsiveness, and collaboration, supporting adults, teens, children, and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation. I believe therapy is a partnership, and my focus is on providing an affirming, compassionate space where we can uncover your strengths, develop practical coping tools, and help you move forward with confidence and clarity. Sesiones disponibles en español e inglés.

In my practice, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, life transitions, and grief. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy, always tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs.

In a first session with me, clients can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space focused on understanding their goals and needs. We’ll clarify what brought you here, define what success looks like, and set a direction for the session—whether that’s solving a problem, organizing your thoughts, or kickstarting a creative or personal project. I tailor my approach to your style and aim to offer immediate value through insight, action steps, or clarity. The overall goal is to help you leave the session feeling more focused, empowered, and ready to move forward.
