Jennifer Vazquez, LMHCA, cEFT Master, CLC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counseling Associate, Emotional Freedom Techniques Master Practitioner, Certified Life Coach, and Veteran. I have over thirty years of coaching, mentoring, leadership, advising, and counseling experience. I utilize evidence and strength-based approaches via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or Tapping), Positive Psychology, and Art therapy. I specialize in PTSD, Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I love supporting teens and adults.

We all have stories to tell. What happened in our lives is just that, it isn’t who we are, it is what happened to us. The challenging stories are based on past events, and they keep getting activated via negative automatic thoughts, feelings, beliefs, repeated behaviors, and our nervous system…which can keep us stuck and/or prevent us from living in genuine alignment with who we are.

I believe we each have the ability to reset, readjust, restart, and rewrite the parts of our story that are no longer helpful or serving us. We are amazingly intelligent, creative, resilient, and adaptive beings! What story(ies) do you want to rewrite, or let go of, that are no longer helpful?

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, culturally-responsive, trauma-informed, inclusive, and a safe space, tailored to the client’s needs. I collaborate with each client to assist them with their goals and intentions, so clients can live their Soul FULL life with more Passion (love of self, others, and community), Purpose (living your values and Why), and Play (living with curiosity, zest, gratitude, and hope).
