Therapist

When you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else, it's easy to lose sight of your own needs. Anxiety, depression, constant stress, trauma, or relationship challenges can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. You deserve a space where you don't have to carry everything alone and where healing feels possible. I partner with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and PTSD so they can strengthen their relationships, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with the version of themselves they've been missing. Working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a welcoming, affirming environment where every client feels respected, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

Leonor Vazquez

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.

Choosing a therapist is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make, and I believe feeling genuinely understood is the foundation of meaningful change. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and have spent over a decade working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other complex mental health concerns across diverse levels of care.

My style is warm, authentic, and collaborative while remaining grounded in evidence-based treatment. I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered to make lasting changes that extend well beyond our sessions. My goal isn’t simply to help you cope—it’s to help you build a life that feels more connected, balanced, and aligned with who you truly are.
