My name is Cecilia Vasquez, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of California and Colorado. With a combination of 28 years of experience in social work and clinical practice, I bring a wealth of expertise to help individuals and families navigate personal issues and life challenges.
My approach
My therapeutic approach centers around Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Based Therapy, Brief Short Term Counseling, and Evidence and Behavior Based Therapy. I believe in creating a respectful, trusting relationship with my clients, working together to find solutions and new perspectives that promote growth and positive change.
My focus
I work with individuals who are dealing with a variety of personal issues, such as depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship issues, career and school concerns, low self-esteem, life transitions, and sleep problems. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to share your experiences and collaborate on strategies to improve your well-being.
My communication style
Open communication and mutual respect form the foundation of my work with clients. I aim to treat each person with dignity, fostering an environment of trust where we can openly explore challenges and work towards meaningful solutions. Through our therapeutic relationship, I hope to offer new insights and empower you to make positive changes in your life.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path to mental healthcare began with earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, followed by a Master's in Social Work (MSW), a Ph.D. in International Psychology, and a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA). This comprehensive educational background has equipped me with a multifaceted understanding of human behavior and the skills to effectively support individuals in their personal growth journeys.
My goals for you
As we work together, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, acquire practical coping skills, and find solutions to the challenges you face. Whether you're seeking to manage stress, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, or enhance your overall well-being, I am committed to providing the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals and lead a more fulfilling life.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will take the time to discuss your current concerns, background, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. This initial meeting allows us to establish a rapport, clarify your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and preferences. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in our therapeutic relationship from the very beginning.
