Getting to know Karen Vazquez

Hi there, I'm Karen! Welcome, me llamo Karen! I am a bilingual, Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), honored to meet you and potentially work with you to identify and work toward your goals. I have over 6 years of clinical practice, primarily working with adults and families. I am proud of the work I have committed to and am passionate about providing empathic and unconditional support to individuals seeking therapy. My approach My therapeutic approach is integrative and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness. I believe in the importance of understanding each client's unique experiences through a person-in-environment perspective. Here to support you throughout your healing and self-discovery, working together to identify meaningful treatment goals and build practical coping tools that reflect your unique strengths and path. My focus I look forward to working with clients ready to explore themselves, build self-awareness, and make meaningful life changes. My practice focuses on supporting adults through major life transitions, identity development, and the emotional impacts of cultural and generational dynamics. I bring experience from working in the healthcare setting, supporting individuals and families facing chronic illnesses, life-altering diagnoses, and the complex emotional toll these experiences carry. I also have a strong background in grief work, helping clients process loss—whether through death, changes in health, or disrupted life plans—and navigate the nonlinear journey of healing. I specialize in working with those from Latinx and BIPOC communities, including individuals coping with intersectional and intergenerational trauma, parentification, and impostor syndrome. I aim to foster resilience, self-compassion, and empowerment throughout each client’s personal journey.
