My name is Dariela Vasquez.
I am a first-generation Dominican Somatic Psychotherapist, Coach , educator, and researcher.
I offer a grounded, holistic approach to therapy and coaching, deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom and integrated with mental health practices.
As a somatic psychotherapist with over ten years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight. Growing up as a first-generation Dominican, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities.
Specializing in generational and childhood trauma, I understand how the wounds of the past—whether from family, culture, or early life experiences—can shape the present. Together, we will unravel these layers, healing the places where you've been carrying old hurts, often without even realizing it.
My approach blends deep empathy with a gentle yet powerful invitation to reconnect with your inner wisdom. Through somatic practices, we'll gently release what no longer serves you, and with each step, we'll honor the wisdom of your body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're looking to heal from past wounds, navigate the complexities of your family history, or reconnect with your spiritual self, my care is here to help you reclaim your power, grow, heal & thrive.
