Whether you’re new to therapy or giving it another try, it’s okay to feel unsure about where to begin. I work with clients who want a space that feels grounded, respectful, and honest. A place where you can explore what’s been weighing on you without pressure or judgment. Together, we slow things down enough to understand patterns and emotions, while also working toward changes that feel meaningful and sustainable. I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist, and much of my work is with teens and adults impacted by trauma, including individuals navigating immigration-related stress, cultural and systemic challenges, and major life transitions. I’m especially mindful of how culture, identity, and lived experience shape the way people move through the world and through therapy.

I am passionate about working through trauma and grief. I know what it is like to feel desperate. I know what it's like to wake up in the morning and wish I hadn't. I know what it's like to lose hope. And I know what it's like to gather bits and pieces of myself and seek professional help. With faith and a faith based therapist, I've not only found hope, I have slowly put pieces of me together again. If I can find hope, if I can smile and laugh again, I believe you can too.

I have been counseling in higher education for nearly thirty years and in private practice for over ten years. Thus, my experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals and issues: I counsel clients ranging in age from 16 to 75, from various religions, genders, sexual orientations and ethnicities. I am culturally sensitive and respect diversity. Such exposure has aided me in recognizing the uniqueness in all individuals & understanding we are all the authors and pilots of our own life. A majority of individuals who make the decision to receive counseling, will discover that the answer is within if they give themselves time... My vast counseling experience includes clients/students who experience challenges in the following areas (including, but not limited to): Anxiety, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, grief, family, illness, etc. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused, via talk therapy, mindfulness, meditation, creative play, eclectic approaches... Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, someone to validate what you're thinking and feeling. Being heard can make a world of difference and oftentimes, sharing your concerns, provides you with the insight to address and resolve your challenges. I can be that listening ear, the one who accompanies you on your journey without judgement and with empathy.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff, overly formal, or like you’re being analyzed the entire time. My approach is real, interactive, and focused on helping you actually see change. I create a space where you can be honest and comfortable, but I won’t just sit back and nod. I’ll help you recognize patterns, challenge what’s not working, and look at things from perspectives you may not have considered. I’m supportive, but I’m also direct—and I use humor when it fits to keep things human. If you’re open to honest conversations, trying new approaches, and doing the work to feel better, we’ll likely be a strong fit.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults and couples who are ready to move beyond feeling stuck and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Many of the clients I work with appear to be managing on the outside, while internally navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, or difficulty expressing their needs. If you find yourself overthinking, reacting instead of responding, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. My approach is structured, intentional, and insight-oriented. I focus on helping you strengthen your emotional intelligence—how you understand, manage, and communicate your emotions—because this is the foundation for healthier relationships, clearer decision-making, and improved overall well-being. Together, we will identify patterns, explore the root of your challenges, and develop practical tools that help you respond with clarity and confidence rather than impulse or avoidance. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and emotional fatigue, as well as couples working through communication breakdowns, trust concerns, and disconnection. Therapy with me is an active process. It requires honesty, consistency, and a willingness to do the work, but it also creates the opportunity for real, sustainable growth. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, better understand how you operate emotionally, and begin showing up differently in your life and relationships, this is a space where that work can begin.

Hello, my name is Vanessa, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Carolina. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I provide counseling in both languages to best support my clients’ needs. My professional background in mental health began during my undergraduate and graduate studies, where I gained experience working with children through the Department of Children & Families, with older adults in skilled nursing facilities, and with adolescents in group homes. Over the years, I have expanded my work to include diverse populations and settings. I served as a Nurse Navigator at one of the largest cancer hospitals in South Florida, providing counseling and advocacy for oncology patients and their families. I have also worked with adults in inpatient rehabilitation for substance use treatment, facilitated care for court-ordered clients, and supported outpatient clients within the LGBTQ+ community. I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and individualized treatment planning. My focus is to meet clients where they are, help them return to a baseline where they feel comfortable and capable, and empower them to navigate life’s challenges. I consider myself open-minded, compassionate, and deeply empathetic. My mantra is simple: I am here for you. My role is to walk alongside you, provide tools and support, and help you manage both daily stressors and long-standing challenges. Life can feel like a roller coaster—full of unexpected changes, emotions, and pressures—but with the right support, it’s possible to find balance, peace, and overall well-being.

Maybe your mind feels like it never shuts off—overthinking, worrying, or constantly feeling on edge. Or maybe it’s the opposite... feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself in a way that’s hard to explain. Some days feel heavy, and even simple things take more effort than they used to. You may also be carrying grief—whether from a loss, a life change, or something that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. At the same time, work stress or burnout might be adding another layer, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and stretched thin. I primarily work with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and the impact of past experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of mental health settings. My professional background includes in home therapy, outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient programs, psychiatric emergency rooms, and children’s shelters. This diverse experience allows me to support clients with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress and emotional overwhelm to more complex life challenges and transitions. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you are unsure where to begin or feel disconnected from yourself. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will identify your goals and work at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you. In our work together, we will focus on building practical coping skills to help you manage emotions, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in your daily life. We will explore patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop strategies that support emotional regulation, self awareness, and healthier responses to challenges. I emphasize tools that can be applied outside of sessions so therapy continues to support you in real world situations. I also believe self care should be realistic and sustainable. Rather than adding pressure, we will focus on practices that genuinely support your mental and emotional well being. Therapy is not about changing who you are, but about strengthening your ability to cope, increasing confidence, and reconnecting with your values. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. If you are seeking support, clarity, and lasting growth, I would be honored to work with you.

Great to meet you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey and have been practicing for the last 8 years. Life has its challenges and it is easy to question ourselves and often that feeling of disconnect can be so consuming and hinder growth. It is my goal to help you learn who you are, sit with those unknown questions along the way, and find fulfillment.
