My style is direct and straight-forward combined with compassion and humor. I focus on establishing psychological safety and empowering you to create lasting positive change.

Therapy is an exciting journey and it is always a pleasure to meet new or potential clients. I look forward to hearing from you.
Ginnelle Vasquez, MSW, LICSW (she/her) Hello, I'm Ginnelle Vasquez, a licensed therapist with 6 years of experience. Currently offering short term therapy (4-8 weeks). dedicated to supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, executive function difficulties, and adjustment issues. I specialize in understanding how these challenges can impact academic stress and overall well-being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in positive psychology and strength-based methods. I believe in the importance of listening to your personal experiences and collaborating with you to create a tailored plan that empowers you to use self-advocacy skills. Together, we will identify and harness your strengths, allowing you to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I am committed to providing a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, develop effective coping strategies, and work towards a healthier, more balanced life to enhance your well-being.
Imagine actually ENJOYING therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals. Since therapy is an intense process that tackles intense issues, we believe it should also include authenticity (on our part), humor, and flexibility. We love working with college students and are energetic, creative, and hands-on. We'll work together to design a personalized approach to address your specific goals. Our therapists specialize in a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ identities, and health challenges.
Central to the therapy process is connecting with someone with whom you can openly explore your past and present; thoughts, feelings, and wishes. As a therapist I am committed to helping you understand the important experiences and patterns that have influenced your life and begin to find openings for new insights and greater meaning. This can allow for personal growth, more fulfilling relationships, and improved coping with difficulties. My style is collaborative, supportive and interactive. My approach involves both facilitating personal exploration and helping you find new strategies for managing difficulty. People who come to see me are often struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, eating/body image concerns, or struggling with transitions in young adulthood
As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth and wits into sessions with my patients. My role is to help people identify patterns that are causing trouble or distress. This process involves not only trying to understand the "root" of the problem, but also looking for ways in which individuals might get stuck in problematic ways of relating to others or thinking about themselves. This can be hard work, but it has the potential to be very rewarding. In my experience, people who engage in therapy often find that old patterns can change, and new choices are able to emerge in their lives. In my previous role as associate director of Boston University's Behavioral Medicine clinic, I worked with a diverse group of undergrad and graduate students. In my current practice, I work with adolescents and young adults who are struggling academically, or who are taking a leave of absence from college or grad school due to mental health concerns. I also have interests in depression, anxiety, parenting, postpartum depression/anxiety, and spiritual issues. But really, I like working with anyone striving for an examined life. I am not in-network with any insurance plans, but you may be able to use out of network benefits to help pay for the cost of therapy.
