Getting to know Lisa Velazquez

I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges, offering a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative approach to therapy. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable exploring your emotions, identifying your strengths, and working toward meaningful change. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, combining my clinical training with a compassionate and client-centered approach to help you create a fulfilling and balanced life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with me, you can expect a supportive and empathetic environment where your well-being is my top priority. I value open communication and collaboration, taking the time to understand your concerns and goals. Therapy is a partnership, and I am committed to walking alongside you at your own pace, helping you build the tools and strategies needed to navigate your journey toward healing and self-growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with an initial session where we will explore your current challenges, concerns, and goals for therapy. This session helps me better understand your unique needs and allows us to create a personalized plan tailored to your situation. Moving forward, our sessions will focus on addressing your priorities, exploring underlying patterns or obstacles, and building coping skills and strategies to help you thrive. Together, we will work toward achieving your desired outcomes in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering.
