Jessica Parker

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Altamonte Springs, FL


I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged, while also being supported in making real, meaningful changes in your life.

Clients often share that they feel at ease talking with me, but also appreciate that I’m honest and help them look at things in new ways. I’m not here to just nod along. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and figure out what actually works for you moving forward.

I take a collaborative approach, which means we work together to make sense of your experiences and build tools that fit your life. Therapy does not have to feel cold or overly clinical. It can be a space that feels genuine, supportive, and even a little lighter at times, while still doing the deeper work.

Marisol Garcia

Marisol Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • Orlando, FL


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe healing begins with feeling safe, understood, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up as you are while we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, body image concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. My approach is evidence-based and individualized. Rather than relying on a single therapy model, I draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and attachment-informed interventions to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals.

My professional experience extends beyond my years as an independently licensed clinician. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health and specialized eating disorder treatment across the full continuum of care, including residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients with complex needs at every stage of recovery.

I have a particular passion for helping individuals heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to understand themselves more deeply, develop effective coping strategies, and create lasting change.

I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and am passionate about increasing access to culturally responsive mental health care for Hispanic individuals and families.

Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.

Leonor Vazquez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Florida


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.
