Mental Health
Our Expertise
At the core of who we are is a deep commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of mental health. Our team comprises dedicated experts specializing in stress, stress-related disorders, trauma, violence, and attachment. We believe in offering more than just clinical "how-to" approaches; our mission is to ensure that those we work with fully grasp the latest advances in research and science surrounding these critical mental health fields. By bridging this essential knowledge with real-world examples, we empower professionals to directly connect complex scientific insights to their day-to-day practice and make a more profound impact on the people they serve.
In-Patient Settings
In-patient settings typically work with populations who have been exposed to incredibly high rates of stress, adversity, and trauma. We are uniquely equipped to provide expert training to in-patient and residential treatment centers, dramatically increasing overall safety for both staff and residents through the adoption of deeply integrated trauma-informed practices. Our comprehensive training curriculum delivers cutting-edge clinical trauma practices and techniques, empowering your clinical teams to effectively help clients overcome even the most severe and complex trauma presentations. This holistic approach ensures not only a safer environment but also significantly enhances the efficacy of your therapeutic services.
If your organization serves primarily out-of-home children and their families, our partners at the Institute for Quality Children’s Services at Florida State University can provide additional services, such as comprehensive evaluations on standards of practice, along with recommendations and training to ensure your organization is administering the highest quality, evidenced-based care.

Dr. Vasquez has developed an innovative, easy to learn, body-centered therapeutic approach to trauma treatment called Integrated Somatic Regulation ®, which incorporates the latest science regarding trauma and its effects on the brain and body, and utilizes elements from various body-centered practices, including body-based psychotherapy, EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, yoga, and body-centered self-compassion approaches. It can be used to safely treat those who have experienced long-term, complex and developmental trauma. This approach developed through clinical practice with highly traumatized individuals, extensive review of the latest research, and collaboration with some of the top trauma experts in the field.
