Dr. Jessica Rivera Vasquez, PsyD

Psychologist
IL
I view therapy as a space where both you and I can help each other to co-narrate your life experiences. Always from a position of compassion and companionship, I hope to build a strong, significant relationship that allows us to (re) discover and reflect on things that are beyond our scope now. Our lives' narratives sometimes may not be pleasant nor self-fulling. Nonetheless, the therapeutic space can serve as a starting point to reflect and create new beginnings. It can also be a space where we revisit past narratives that may have marked you significantly or try to embrace our fears for the future. In our work together, I aim to connect with you in a way that not only allows for safety, trust and vulnerability but instills a sense of empowerment that affirms your ability to endure uncertainty. My philosophy of life is that we all experience the world differently and are the experts on our lives, but may need support with processing and reflecting. For these reasons, I work from an integrative relational, humanistic, trans-affirmative, multicultural and liberating perspective. As a queer therapist of color, I value liberation, transformative social justice, and intersectionality. Having worked across multiple settings with marginalized folx, I know my work does not end in my office. My experiences at hospitals, community health centers, college counseling, prisons, & non-profit orgs, drive me to advocate and resist systematic oppression for all marginalized identities inside and outside of therapy. In creating a therapeutic space rooted in multiculturalism, I aim to instill a sense of safety for all clients, especially those with marginalized identities such as LGBTQ+, trans and non-binary, Kinks+, immigrants, and people of color. I make a point to show up authentically in sessions as a compassionate, empathic, energetic, reflective, nerdy/geeky, and proud bilingual boricua therapist.
