Getting to know Irene Velasquez

As a Latina therapist and first-generation American, I bring my whole heart to our work together! My approach centers around YOU—your experiences, your strengths, and your vision for growth. I believe that while I have therapeutic knowledge, you're truly the expert on your own life. I blend various approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to create a personalized path forward. Whether you're navigating anxiety, processing grief, or seeking more joy and balance, we'll find the tools that resonate most with your unique story. When I'm not connecting with clients, you'll find me dancing (my favorite stress-reliever!) or creating memories with my daughter, who teaches me daily about resilience and authentic connection. I'm genuinely excited to be part of your journey—to celebrate your victories, big and small, and to support you through challenges with warmth, cultural understanding, and unwavering belief in your capacity to heal and thrive.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
