Hello and thank you for taking the next step in your self-care. My name is Vanessa and I am an LCSW licensed in the state of Texas. I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 4 years. I work with a wide variety of people including adolescents, young adult, adult, and older adult populations.
I am what you call an eclectic practitioner, meaning I use different therapy approaches depending on the client's need. I am specifically trained in trauma-focused modalities including EMDR and CPT, and also practice Mindfulness CBT, Solutions-Focused, Interpersonal Therapy, and Family Systems informed approaches.
My philosophy is that everyone has the power and solutions inside themselves. One of the main goals is to create self-awareness, once self-awareness is established change can begin. Along with a deeper knowledge of themselves, I assist clients in developing self-compassion and self-care. It is my greatest intention and goal to create a safe and comfortable enviornment for this to happen through trust, honesty, non-judgement, and holding unconditional positive regard for each client.
