I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) licensed psychologist who is passionate about helping women understand themselves more deeply, overcome challenges, and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. I provide both therapy and psychological evaluations in a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment.
In therapy, I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I believe healing happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make lasting changes.
I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to help individuals gain clarity about their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Evaluations may address concerns related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, personality functioning, cognitive changes, and diagnostic clarification. My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help you better understand your strengths, challenges, and the most effective path forward.
Whether you are seeking therapy, an evaluation, or both, I strive to create a collaborative experience where you feel respected, understood, and supported every step of the way.

l have been practicing for over 20 years. Listening to my clients and helping them navigate this increasingly complex world is my starting point. In therapy, I meet you where you are to help you look inward to find yourself and your strength.
A proud University of Central Florida graduate with a Master of Social Work, I have had a professional focus in various fields, including, child welfare, community mental health, the school system and intensive outpatient therapy. Much of this work has been centered on empowering youth, adults and families from diverse backgrounds and abilities. I currently work with children and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions.
My name is Alexa Vazquez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida international University. I specialize in working with individuals and families, supporting them as they navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting dynamics.
Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fort Myers
Finding postpartum therapists in Fort Myers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, maternal counseling, or support for new parents. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and after birth.
In a smaller city like Fort Myers, the number of local postpartum therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while also fitting practical needs like infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, estimate your out-of-pocket cost before booking, and offer direct scheduling. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
