I am a seasoned counselor familiar with adolescents, issues of personal development, empowerment, issues about personal power, overcoming fear, and identifying values. I value honesty, courage, self-actualization and altruism. I have worked almost exclusively with males. I see the world from a male perspective because that's the point of view I have experienced life through. I have spent years in the gym. I am a musician, and I play out somewhere every week.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and a Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider. I have a masters degree in Social Work and a BA in Economics. Clients get my full attention and best effort.

I am experienced in evaluating risk of harm to persons. I know a lot about how people use and/or misuse power.

Patricia Vasquez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. My clinical background allows me to support adults across a wide range of mental health needs—from acute stabilization to ongoing outpatient treatment—while maintaining a thoughtful, individualized approach to care.

I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Texas State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I am known for my warm, approachable style and for taking the time to truly listen, as I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and feeling understood.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and life stressors. My approach emphasizes conservative medication management, clear patient education, and shared decision-making so individuals feel informed and confident in their care.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I have a background in women’s health, which enhances my understanding of how physical health and life-stage factors can influence mental well-being. This perspective allows me to provide well-rounded, inclusive care for all adults.

Whether you are seeking psychiatric care for the first time, transitioning from inpatient treatment, or looking for ongoing outpatient support, my goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel respected, heard, and empowered throughout your care.
