LCSW
Accepting Clients

Tori Vazquez is a queer-and-trans-identified clinician who works with adults, teens, and families.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

I have extensive experience and interest in working with individuals navigating complex trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, and those exploring sexuality and gender identity. As a queer-and-trans-identified clinician, I have a deep commitment to working with individuals identifying within LGBTQ+ communities and providing affirming support to individuals identifying as kinky, poly, and/or practicing non-monogamous relationship structures.

My Background and Approach

I use an integrative, person-centered therapeutic approach, blending different theories in order to work with each client in the most effective way. My approach is warm, open, non-judgmental, and committed to creating a safe environment where individuals can explore and grow into their most authentic selves and lead more fulfilling, joyful lives. I believe that everyone wants, needs, and deserves to love and be loved, to listen and be listened to, and that the therapeutic relationship is paramount in facilitating change. I emphasize client autonomy during each session and meet clients where they are while serving as a guide and source of support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My clinical work is grounded in transformative justice, abolition, anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice, and trauma-informed care. I believe that mental healthcare is a basic human right that should be built into and available in all communities.
