Getting to know Mercedez Velasquez

“Hi, I’m Mercedez! Therapy is a journey, and I’m here to make sure it feels meaningful, supportive, and tailored to you every step of the way. I work with individuals navigating challenges like anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences while building tools to move forward with confidence. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you better understand yourself, develop practical coping strategies, and create lasting change. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for growth, we’ll work together at your pace to help you feel more balanced and empowered.”

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and start building a comfortable, supportive foundation. We’ll talk about your background, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you’d like to gain from our work together. You can expect a space that is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and paced in a way that feels right for you. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, and together we’ll begin identifying patterns, goals, and practical steps forward. Therapy is a process, and we’ll build on each session over time—focusing on both insight and real-life tools you can use outside of our work together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is collaborative, structured, and tailored to your individual needs. We’ll start by identifying your goals and gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges you’re facing. From there, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to support both insight and practical change. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, exploring patterns, and developing strategies you can apply in your daily life. As we continue working together, we’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our approach as needed. My goal is to help you feel more confident, equipped, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges both during and beyond therapy.
