Dariela Vasquez, LCSW

Hello! Thank you for being here-

My name is Dariela Vasquez. I am a first-generation Dominican somatic psychotherapist and educator who specializes in grief and intergenerational trauma.

I have over 12 years of experience as a therapist, advocate, and educator.

My passion for community, healing spaces, and heart-centered mental health services comes from my upbringing and early years of service in my local community center.

As a young girl, I was taught how to hold space for grief. I learned from my elders, including my mother, as well as the various teachers who have come into my life.

I come with the wisdom I have learned from those I have served and my personal experiences as a person who has experienced trauma and loss at a young age.

I come with wisdom from my elders and those who came before me. I tend to the land with care and attention.

I am passionate about stories, especially our generational stories, and the power each story holds.

I come with wisdom from my childhood, sessions, adult life, my healing journey, my trauma and grief research, and my love affair with books.

I serve my communities by offering a soft place to land.

I offer ancestral somatic sessions, community gatherings, and advocacy services.

I am a relational-centered and liberation therapist, rooted in ancestral wisdom.
