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.

Hi, I’m Alexandria a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of professional experience helping adults and seniors navigate life’s challenges.

Hi there, I'm Yanela, a bilingual LMHC with previous experience and a background in art therapy approach as a creative healing process.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults using a mix of evidence-based approaches and creative techniques to support emotional growth.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Over the past 10 years I have worked as a Substance Abuse Counselor, Group Facilitator, Counseling families, Individuals, The Sheltered Homeless population, First Responders, and the geriatric population.

Hi, I’m Jeanina. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, a people-person at heart and someone who believes deeply in the power of hope, healing, and being truly seen.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culture, family, identity, and the expectations we can carry while trying to find our own voice. I believe therapy should feel compassionate, approachable, and genuinely human. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and show up as your whole self—without having to have everything figured out.

I especially enjoy working with women and young adults navigating life transitions, identity, relationships, family expectations, self-worth, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure of becoming who you are while still figuring out who that is. Your 20s and 30s and even 40s can bring so many questions: Who am I? What do I really want? Am I on the right path? Why do I feel like everyone else has it together?

Many of the women and young adults I work with have spent so much time taking care of others, meeting expectations, being strong, or simply surviving that they have lost touch with themselves. Therapy can be a place to reconnect—with your values, your voice, your relationships, your identity, and the life you genuinely want to build.

You don’t have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes, you just need a safe place to begin asking the right questions.

I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and move toward a life that feels more like you.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
