Hi, my name is Vanesha but you can call me Vee for short. I am a licensed therapist based in California and I have 9 years of experience providing compassionate care to diverse communities. I work closely with LGBTQ+ populations and provide recommendation letters for gender-affirming care. I draw from principles of trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and attachment theory to promote healing and wellness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I would like to know your story and the issues bringing you into therapy. I will provide education about the therapeutic process and encourage you to ask any questions you may have.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I think my experience with diverse populations makes me unique. I provide recommendation letters for gender-affirming care and work in alliance with LGBTQ+ communities. I also seek to expand my knowledge and earn certification in treatment modalities such as EMDR.

Attachment-based
Attachments formed early in life are the basis of how we view ourselves and the world. Issues with trust, self esteem, substance use, and emotional regulation are signs of an insecure attachment that effect our current relationships. I work with my clients to explore attachment patterns, increase communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and takes steps to establish reparative relationships.
Grief Therapy
Grief is experienced after many types of loss, including a loved one, pet, physical ability, relationship, of stage of life. I use evidenced based practices to support clients as they cope with the emotional pain of grief and adjust to reality of the loss.
Racial trauma treatment
Racial trauma from micro aggressions, police interactions and discrimination affect our and self-esteem. I work with clients to heal racial trauma using a strengths-based, empowerment approach.
