I'm a trauma and EMDR therapist and LCSW licensed in New York and Connecticut, with eight years of experience rooted in crisis work. I've worked with families facing hardship and people in corporate and executive careers, and I have experience in disaster mental health and in critical incident stress management for first responders. I understand people under the highest levels of stress, both personally through my own experiences, and professionally.

I don't believe trauma has to be something we simply live with, or something that defines us. When we look at ourselves through a nervous system lens, we start to see a nervous system that adapted to survive, and one that can learn to do something new.

A self-regulation approach asks, "How do I calm myself down?" A capacity approach asks, "How can I build a nervous system that doesn't need to be calmed down every time life gets hard?" That second question is where I work. I start with the body and emotional experience before cognitive understanding, which helps us reach what's hard to put into words, leading to real shifts.

Welcome, I’m Dariela Vasquez, a first-generation Latina (Dominican) woman living in New York State. I often work with women who, on the outside, have it all together but, on the inside, feel alone, disconnected, and stagnant. Women who often feel overwhelmed and anxious, and yet still show up for others. I help women choose themselves and grow a life that reflects their soul’s expression. I have over 10 years of experience holding space and guiding women as they grow confidence in themselves, their decisions, & in their relationships.
