Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am an LPCC in Minnesota and California with over 9 years of experience counseling children and adults. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings counseling individuals and children with needs in Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Childhood Trauma, Grief/Loss, and Substance Addiction.
I approach my client's with a warm and non-judgmental demeanor. We live in a world that can go so fast at times. It is important to remember how to take care of ourselves and our mental health. My goals for clients are to remove the stigma of mental health and to advocate for education and better understanding of how their mind functions.
Many times, we just need reminders about how to reconnect with a more centered version of ourselves. I enjoy using mindfulness strategies and thinking skills to support a healthy mind. I have an eclectic approach to therapy where I often find strategies to meet my client's needs where they are at. I also recommend that my clients take stock of how they take care of their physical bodies. Our mind and body are so connected. There are times when one is communicating, but the other is not listening.
My approach to therapy is getting connected with thoughts and feelings in the moment and using strategies to relieve unnecessary pain and suffering. At times, our pain and suffering can have meaning, however, we can also place undue stress on ourselves. Taking responsibility for our happiness is a choice that takes courage and strength.
I look forward to supporting your needs and getting to know you. This experience is to re-engage with you as the expert of your own life.
