My role is not to be the expert of your life, but to empower you to be the expert of your own. My goal in therapy is always to be strength-based and collaborative. My job is to support you with your identified goals. I am here to help you decide on the direction of your journey and support you on your path to get there....

I am a believer that we are all interconnected. Our relationships matter most to our wellbeing. And while we are living in a time where we are easily able to connect with one another, we have also never been so isolated and alone. The messages we receive from our greater systems often are at odds with what I know contribute to our wellbeing. Because of that we can often feel stuck, less than, or constantly hustling for “that thing.” We can end up chasing the wrong thing and find ourselves perpet...
I work with you to not just understand what's going on, but also to develop tools to help. Tools to stop panic attacks, tools to manage depression, tools to get organized and figure out what you want in life. We work together to see what works reliably for you. In addition to talking things through, in session and between sessions sometimes you might be writing, sometimes trying a challenging behavior change, sometimes engaging in mindfulness, and sometimes using visualizations. My aim is fo...
I utilize evidenced based interventions from both acceptance and commitment therapy and trauma-informed care principles in my practice. I graduated in 2017 from the University of Denver with my Masters in Social Work and have been providing both inpatient and outpatient treatment since that time. My education and both, personal and professional experiences have allowed me to develop skills to work with diverse, often marginalized populations, such as members of the LGBTQIA+ population or those ...
You're having a hard time making decisions related to a relationship, career, or life. You're trying to do everything “right” to try to make other people happy and running away from what it is that you want. You constantly feel guilt and fear & it's preventing you from living a more free & full life. I specialize in working with women to bring awareness to how you are genuinely feeling, in your mind and body, to help discover and set boundaries around what you truly want for yourself without wor...

My belief is that everyone can benefit from therapy and having the support of an unbiased person to talk to. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the belief that our thoughts create our feelings, and that if we change our negative thinking our feelings will change. CBT teaches that it is not the event which causes the emotion (and our behavioral reaction) but the meaning we give that event - or what we think ABOUT that event. There are many powerful tools that have been develop...
Amazing personal transformations take through the therapeutic process. I’ve had the privilege of serving clients with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, anger, self-destructive behavior, trauma as well as those who just seek better coping skills or want greater insight to themselves so they can live more authentic lives of purpose and peace. My style is deeply compassionate while also being direct and directive. I do not believe in meandering, aimless therapy. I believe ...
I work with young women and LGBTQ+ folks with anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing tendencies. You set goals for yourself that aren’t reachable, and you feel like you’re failing, though from the outside it may look like you have it together. You know that the patterns in your life aren’t working, yet it’s hard to identify what to change and make those changes on your own. It’s a big step to even recognize that you might benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you make those changes so t...
We are living in a pressure-filled, anxiety inducing world and I am here to help you navigate through it! I am passionate about helping my clients deal with all of the everyday life “stuff” that they and so many others struggle with. In today’s society, it feels like so many people are pressured to fit inside a certain box to “qualify for” or “need” therapy. With my experience working with diverse clientele in various settings, I strive to be a clinician who is working towards changing the narra...
Hello! My name is Christian Lee Vasquez, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I am the owner of CLV Counseling. I see counseling as a way to learn how to better cope with life in the present, while healing traumas & life-altering events from the past and worries of the future. If you feel comfortable partnering with a counselor who actively works to avoid shaming, judging, blaming, and guilting others in and out of the office, we will be a good match. I am currently offering in-person a...

A need to always look put-together and strong can be destructive and exhausting. It seems like the harder you try, the harder it gets. The pressure to appear “all good” invalidates the emotions we all experience as human beings. Living in a culture of toxic positivity only reinforces the idea that negative thoughts and feelings are somehow inherently unhealthy. In therapy, outdated notions are challenged and you will not be invalidated for feeling…anything. Many of my clients have internaliz...
I strongly believe in the human capacity for healing and transformation and believe that people are strong and resilient.

I am here to walk alongside you, and desire for you to walk away from therapy feeling like a more whole and healthy version of yourself. I am committed to creating a safe space for each client, whether you are feeling relationally drained, hopel...
“I am stuck in negative thoughts.” “I have difficulty making sense of or finding my purpose in life.” “My thoughts and emotions control my life.” “I do not feel good enough.” I am happy to support you through struggles with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, work/life balance, and other important areas. I believe that everyone has the potential to live as their authentic selves. I offer scientific, evidence-based techniques from person-centered, strengths-based, somatic psycho...
As we grow and face the world, so too grows the number of challenges and responsibilities we face. And with this increase comes the possibility for new anxieties, new depression, and new traumas to arise. Often we can be left feeling unprepared because life rarely gives us a roadmap to dealing with these complex issues. Therapy can be a daunting task, but that doesn't mean it's not a good thing. Seeking help is the first step to starting a positive change and it is only once we embrace that chan...

My clients often feel overwhelmed and confused as they go through challenging life transitions, relationship difficulties, or begin to face past trauma. I help couples who want to deepen intimacy, navigate conflict in new ways, and rebuild a sense of connection. I help individuals gain more confidence and self-compassion as we explore the unique challenges they face, past or present....
