Hello. My name is Scott Vazquez. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State. I have 27 years experience counseling individuals from various backgrounds. I have counseled individuals with a variety of diagnoses in the realm of mental illness, physical disabilities, relationship inequality, anger management, anxiety, depression, racism, and general day to day life stressors.
My counseling style incorporates an eclectic approach. I utilize theories from the Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, and Empathic approaches; which are ratio tailored to the individual. This is done to discover the etiology, help individuals work through difficulties emotional or otherwise, and to reduce any symptoms, or ameliorate them altogether.
Taking that first step in seeking help is courageous and a good indicator that an awareness of a difficulty is present. The pursuit of happiness and working through trauma and pain is of paramount importance, in order to obtain inner peace, and a state of overall calm. It will be my pleasure to assist you in those endeavors, as well as any other goals you have for yourself.

Scott is great at guiding the conversation and asking questions to help me sort through an issue personal or professional. It can be scary to start talking to someone new but Scott really makes you feel at home.
