Javier Velez

Hello! I’m Dr. Javier "Jay" Velez, a licensed psychologist in Florida. Understanding yourself can be a powerful step toward clarity and growth. I specialize in psychological testing, offering evaluations to help you gain insight into your strengths, challenges, and unique way of thinking. My goal is to provide a supportive and affirming process rooted in a multicultural perspective. Together, we’ll uncover the information you need to move forward with confidence and self-understanding.

What drew me to working with autistic and neurodivergent clients is a deep appreciation for the unique ways each individual experiences the world. I value creating a space where people feel truly understood, supported, and empowered to embrace their strengths. I believe in meeting individuals where they are, celebrating their perspectives, and helping them navigate challenges in ways that align with their needs and goals. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of a journey that fosters confidence, self-acceptance, and meaningful growth.

My approach is centered on recognizing and amplifying each individual’s strengths rather than framing differences as challenges to be overcome. I believe that every person has a unique way of thinking, processing, and engaging with the world, and my role is to help highlight and build upon those innate abilities. Through a compassionate and affirming lens, I work to create an environment where clients feel valued and empowered to embrace their authentic selves. My commitment is to support each individual in realizing their full potential—not by changing who they are, but by helping them harness their strengths in ways that bring fulfillment, confidence, and success on their own terms.
