Welcome! Let's face it, therapy isn't fun or easy: it's about problem solving! I am a registered psychologist and have been working in the field of psychology for over 15 years. I work with a diverse clientele with a wide range of concerns but what I have truly recognized is the importance of relationships to our satisfaction in life. Specializing in relationships means I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with their closest and most important relationships We have a biological need to connect, to belong, and our close relationships fill this need.

Are you dealing with the loss of a loved one or a relationship? Maybe you doubt yourself or struggle with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Are you losing sleep or withdrawing? Do you feel disconnected, empty or stuck? If you are struggling with grief, loss, stress, parenting, or pregnancy, I am here to listen without judgment. It is possible to move through your experience and feel a sense of relief from being heard and validated. You can discover inner strength and insight to find healing in your own way. I specialize in helping youth, adults, and elders reconnect with themselves and build healthy relationships after loss.

When I meet with a client, whether a child, teenager, or adult, my intention is to be present with them where they are, first as a human being; then to help them feel safe and comfortable with me and to bring my years of experience and training, along with their knowledge of themselves and their desire to change, to resolve what brought them to therapy.

Feeling exhausted, burned out, and frustrated with where your life is right now? Not knowing who you can talk to about these challenges? Whether it is from parenting, work, school, or just life, I know how hard it can be when things just feel like they keep piling up and up and up with no end in sight. Juggling multiple roles and feeling like you have no time for yourself is a battle many of us are facing. Both my personal and professional experiences give me the tools to help clients facing these struggles and I would love to connect and see how I can be a support to you, your family member, or family during these stressful times.

Welcome! I'm Claudia Vasquez, a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently working at ARCH Psychological Services.

Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety? Is it affecting you at work, when you are with your family and friends, and your overall wellbeing? Are you tired of feeling this way? The worrisome thoughts can be difficult enough on their own, but when you add symptoms like poor concentration, poor sleep, irritability, restlessness, and fatigue, it can feel overwhelming. The longer it goes unmanaged, the harder it can make your life. All is not lost! I am here to help you. Together, we can explore how your anxiety is affecting your life and which strategies would be best for managing your symptoms so you feel in control again.

Sometimes our thoughts and feelings become unmanageable without help. Anxiety, stress and depression are just some of the ways our mind tells us that something isn't right, or the ways we've coped in the past aren't quite working as well as they did. Change can be unsettling and distressing, but it can also be healing, fulfilling and hopeful. I provide a therapeutic space that is safe, warm and engaging where you can engage in your process, at whatever pace you need.

My main goal is to provide a warm, accepting and nurturing environment in which my clients can explore their vulnerable places and grow from them. Often our life circumstances, or even those of our parents and grand-parents, have led us to mistaken beliefs about ourselves, our worth, and our place in life.

I have witnessed many such changes over the years, and I believe that a full and happy life is possible for all of us.
