Dr. Vanessa Chambers

My name is Vanessa! I am a fully-licensed clinical counselor who has a passion for working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, body image, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, relationship issues, spirituality, and athletes. I have 5 years of experience working in the eating disorder space including serving as the Executive Director of an eating disorder program. I received my undergraduate degree from Furman University and my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Currently, I am a Doctoral Candidate completing my PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision at Mercer University researching optimal performance in competitive athletes.

I take a person centered and strength-based therapeutic approach to client care. I use an inclusive approach to wellness, emphasizing overall well-being, and fostering a healthy relationship with food and the body.

I incorporate a combination of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic techniques into my treatment approach.

My mission is to empower individuals and families to heal, grow, and discover a deeper sense of purpose, guiding them toward hope and lasting well-being.
