Hi, my name is Iliamari Vazquez Houston and I am a professional Social Worker specializing in trauma therapy. My areas of expertise are family issues, depression, anxiety and stress, postpartum journeys, and first responders and their families. I have worked over the last 15 years in a variety of settings with diverse communities. My expertise allows others to feel heard and validated, in order to make positive changes. My focus in therapy is to provide a safe experience with a person-centered approach. This can have elements of CBT, talk therapy, solution focused and motivational interviewing. I also provide support for past trauma work through EMDR. Each plan will be personalized for each client. I am a huge advocate of self care. If you arent taking care of yourself, you arent able to care for others. I am also an ally and take a non-judgemental approach with others. I look forward to working with you through your therapeutic journey. Therapy can be an essential tool in your life. Please ask about fees. I offer a sliding scale if needed. I am currently under the supervision of Lindsay Love, LCSW; LCSW-16703; therapy luv.com
