My name is Dr. Merari Vasquez, DSW, LCSW, SIPI, and I recently launched my practice, Mindful Journeys Psychotherapy Wellness, LCSW PLLC in New York. Despite launching my practice last year, I have been in the field for 10 years. I have been working with clients offering therapeutic treatment which includes individual therapy, treatment planning, and annual evaluations or as needed. I have worked with individuals with various mental health disorders ranging from generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. Within the last 10 years, I have been able to support clients with various legal documents and evaluations in relation to governmental entities such as social security department, HRA, and immigration. I am now offering psychosocial evaluations and hardship letters to support immigration cases, including hardship waivers, asylum, VAWA, U-visas, and cancellation of removal.
