My name is Vanessa Blanchette and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Wisconsin. I have over been working in the mental health field for over 15 years. I have counseled in various settings- first as a Crisis Counselor, then as therapist at the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, and now as an outpatient counselor/therapist and Clinical Director of an outpatient clinic in Green Bay, Wisconsin for the past 5 years.
My approach is simple- to provide a safe space and non-judgmental environment for clients to bring their stories to. In order to do this, I bring many approaches to sessions with individuals, couples, and families because I believe that everyone's story is unique and each person deserves to have a safe space to share it. I incorporate a combination of different therapies & theoretical approaches, including existential therapy, mindfulness & Buddhist inspired psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, & attachment theory. I believe that humor and genuine empathy are also important tools that are helpful in a world that can often feel unfriendly, uncaring, & at times, to serious. My most recent trainings include trauma certification CTTP, Brainspotting, EMDR, and mindfulness trainings.
I feel very honored to have clients trust me with their stories and I look forward to sharing your journey with you!

Vanessa is not only helping me with issues that I could identify myself, but has also helped me think deeply and shed light on the deeper difficulties that laid the foundations to the issues that I recognised. It has only been a few weeks but having her support and advice has already made me feel noticeably more empowered and overall more peaceful, I cannot recommend her enough

Vanessa is extremely good at her job, she speaks at a level I can understand and listens to my thoughts and ideas. She did not tell me what to do but helped guide my thought process so I can make a decision that is healthy for me. I am extremely pleased with the time I have spent with Vanessa and would recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation.
