Leticia Vasquez-Zurita, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Leticia!

I am a bilingual therapist and first-generation immigrant from Mexico. My experiences as an immigrant, English learner, and advocate for my family have shaped who I am personally and professionally. I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals to live a fulfilling life.

My focus

I specialize in teens, families, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, trauma, family conflicts, anger, and life transitions.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have found that when we focus on strengths as opposed to weaknesses, clients tend to be more motivated to move forward in their healing journey.

My communication style

I tend to be my authentic self while keeping in mind my role as your therapist. I pride myself on being easygoing and sometimes funny, depending on the topic.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental health started when I came across a non-profit during a school internship. I worked alongside therapists and admired the work they did for families, so I decided to seek higher education to become a therapist.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working collectively to identify what you want to achieve in our time together. I believe trust and rapport are important, and I take the time to establish both before moving forward. I also use scaling questions to help us see the progress you are making.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss confidentiality and its limitations. We will also get to know each other and learn about what brought you to therapy.
