My name is Isis and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of Florida and South Carolina with over 8 years of experience. I have worked professionally as a counselor, school counselor, and motivational therapist. I have worked with clients to navigate a wide range of challenges including anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, parenting and family issues, depression, and women's issues.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years experience working as a therapist, life coach and pastoral counselor. I have worked with clients having a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, parenting and family problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and disabilities that include psychiatric and physical health issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive.
I’m Leonor F. Vazquez, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in psychiatric care since 2018. I provide compassionate, individualized mental health care primarily to adults ages 18 and older.
I treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, generalized and social anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychosis, borderline personality disorder, and sleep disorders.
My approach goes beyond prescribing medication. I believe meaningful mental health care begins with listening, understanding your story, and seeing you as a whole person—not simply as a diagnosis. I combine evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management with therapeutic support when appropriate, creating an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, strengths, concerns, and goals.
My priority is for you to feel heard, respected, supported, and never judged. Your voice matters, and I want you to be an active participant in your treatment.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms, but also to help you achieve greater stability, improve your daily functioning, and build a meaningful and fulfilling life.
A mental health diagnosis does not define you or determine what you can achieve. I genuinely care about the people I serve and strive to create a safe, trusting relationship where we can work together toward positive change.
You are more than a diagnosis. You have a story, strengths, goals, and possibilities. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward better mental health and a better quality of life.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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.
