For Margibel Vazquez, therapy begins with listening—truly listening—not just to your words, but to the emotions beneath them. She views emotions as meaningful signals, not problems to be fixed. Whether they manifest as sadness, anger, confusion, or fear, Margibel believes they carry valuable insights into who we are and what we need.
Her work is grounded in the idea that healing occurs when we stop resisting our feelings and begin to understand them. She offers a warm, steady presence where people can slow down, breathe, and sort through life's complexities—without pressure, judgment, or pretense.
Margibel works with individuals, couples, children, teens, and families. Her approach is thoughtful and deeply personal. She knows that no two stories are the same, and so she adapts her work to meet each person where they are. Some days, that might look like structured skills and strategies. At other times, it means making space for silence, reflection, or playful expression—especially when words fail to convey what is needed.
She is particularly skilled in supporting people who feel disconnected from themselves or others. With training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Child-Centered Play Therapy, Margibel helps clients build stronger relationships with the people in their lives—and with themselves.
Clients describe her as calm, curious, and grounded. She creates a sense of safety that makes it easier to open up, explore difficult emotions, and begin the work of meaningful change.
