Great to meet you!

Welcome, my name is Heather Vani and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience. I earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned Board Certification as a Telemental Health Professional, I am a trained Trauma Professional and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider. I have also earned the "Diagnostic" credential in New York State allowing me the ability to make a diagnosis for my patients that are in need of an evaluation. These specialties and certifications allow me to pass on vital tools and information to my patients. I look forward to meeting you!

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy as a highly curated plan for each individual. Everyone has different needs, life experiences and will have their therapy tailored to fit them. My clients can always expect to be treated with respect as well as a zero judgement space.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, we typically complete an intake in order to collect important information that I need in order to get a full picture as well as information that you want to provide me with. We will discuss prior mental health treatments and what your expectations are from your current therapy experience. We will also review your goals and begin to discuss a plan to reach those goals.
