Hello! I am Vanessa Ly and it's so great to meet you. Am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California and have been practicing for 3 years. I specialize in treating younger adults and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, or relationship concerns. I have also worked closely with first generation individuals and families to be the cycle breaker. I believe that positive change and growth can happen and it’s the first step to your journey of healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will work closely together to discuss your goal(s) in therapy and tailor future sessions to your unique needs. I will work closely with you to discuss and get an understanding of your presenting concerns.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With my background in community mental health, I provide a compassionate, client-centered, trauma informed care. I will work closely with you to address your goals and create positive change.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Starting therapy can often feel like a big step and even sometimes even overwhelming. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step in your journey. Life can be overwhelming, confusing, and even throw you curve balls. When emotions, thoughts, or behaviors are affecting different areas of your life, I welcome you to reach out for help. Life can be challenging but I believe working together, I can provide you with the tools to cope and help you gain insight into your strengths to overcome life’s challenges. Through this journey, I believe that positive change and growth are possible.
