• 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:
• Help Latinas gain their voices by becoming aware of the connections between their lives and their gendered, cultural, social and political circumstances.
• 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.”

Despite her Latin-American expertise, since 1979, Dr. Vazquez has vast experience helping people from all backgrounds.

• People born in North America
  • Caucasians
  • People of color
• Immigrants from many countries

Dr. Vazquez has increased her private practice since reducing her time at Bellevue Hospital.
