Dr. Vazquez's Private Practice

Dr. Vazquez has a private practice in New York City (East 40th Street in Manhattan), where she provides:

• psychotherapy for
  • individuals
  • families
  • couples (including with culturally mixed marriages)
• psychological examinations for
  • children and adolescents
    • developmental and learning disabilities
    • neuropsychological evaluations
    • lead poisoning
    • custody
  • adults
    • neuropsychological evaluations
    • mental health assessments
• consultations about cultural issues
• supervision for mental health cultural services
• court testimony
• assessment in immigration matters

When asked about her psychological services, Dr. Vazquez says: "Although there are many culturally competent professionals who are also highly qualified to help, I have dedicated my professional life to evaluations, treatment, research, and training.  This diverse combination enables me to:

• tell which behaviors are normal and functional in the Latino culture and which are not
   
• understand the cultural origins of parenting skills and not automatically see a parent’s concern as over-involvement or intrusiveness
   
• act as a cultural broker to help children/families, couples and other important relationships maintain a balanced cultural position, if needed, understand psychological problems and resolve them."

"Let me know whenever I can help."
