Samantha Vazquez, LCPC

Psychotherapist
IL
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and EMDR therapist who was inspired to become a counselor after my own positive experiences in therapy during adolescence. I value therapy because I believe that individuals have the power to change their lives if they are willing to examine and explore the deepest parts of themselves. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in helping families manage the heavy burdens of grief, loss, and trauma. While I specialize in grief related work, I also look forward to working with individuals who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life transitions. Those who’ve spent time with me may describe me as warm, kind, good-humored, and down-to-earth. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to feedback and willing to try new approaches to their issues or struggles, and I love the feeling of making a positive difference in someone’s day or life. Clients can look forward to being challenged to achieve their goals within a warm, supportive, and encouraging environment. I’m a West Virginia native and have been living in Chicago for the past 15 years. I enjoy baking, yoga, spending time with my family and friends, walking my dogs, and watching reality TV.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the necessary building foundation to help you achieve your goals. It is important for me to create a safe space for you as we identify your main concerns and develop a plan to help you achieve your goals. I utilize a trauma informed approach which recognizes the impact of your experiences on all aspects of your life and aims to provide a safe and supportive environment in order to reduce the risk of re-traumatization and facilitate healing. Throughout the therapeutic process, I incorporate interventions from several modalities which include Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
