I believe therapy is successful when the client and therapist feel connected. I focus on building this therapeutic relationship by taking an approach that is supportive and client centered. I earned my BA in Psychology from UC Irvine and Master’s with Honors Distinction from Cal State Northridge. Additionally, I spent many years learning and practicing the teachings of ancient yoga for personal growth and to inform my practice. Over the last ten years, I have worked in various settings with clients of different age groups and backgrounds, helping them successfully navigate through their problems. I have extensive experience treating clients coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment and relationship issues; together we can make life better.

Siomara Guzman Vasquez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (English and Spanish) with 13 years of clinical experience, and I work entirely via telehealth across California. My clients range from children and adolescents to adults and seniors, and often I'm working with whole families at once.

A lot of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or major life transitions, and many are doing it while also managing the weight of cultural expectations, immigration history, or intergenerational patterns that don't always have easy names.

My sessions are judgment-free, bicultural, and built around what actually helps you move forward.
