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.

I am a doctoral-level clinical psychologist specializing in complex assessment cases, including psychological evaluations for immigration cases. Through PSYPACT, I serve clients in 44 states, offering timely and expedited appointments for individuals and attorneys seeking detailed psychological reports for immigration proceedings.
I have extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, and I collaborate with certified interpreters in over 100 languages to ensure clear communication and understanding. My evaluations objectively document how past events, like war, violence, or family separation, impact mental health. Each report is clear, detailed, trauma-informed, and tailored to the needs of case, incorporating relevant cultural and historical context.
I approach every evaluation with deep respect for each person’s unique background and experiences. My reports are concise, impartial, and focused on providing an accurate clinical picture.
