In my decade+ experience as a therapist, I've learned that the most important element of therapy is relationship. I bring my personality to our sessions, sharing my coirkiness, playfulness, celebration of my clients, and compassion for my clients' journeys. With relationship as a foundation, I always listen to intuition for what might need attention, exploration, and care. My passion is offering clients tools like EMDR, guided meditations, and hypnosis to assist them in contacting deeper parts of themselves and their own wisdom to confront the big challenges of life.

My name is Vanessa and I have been working with therapy clients for 12 years. I have immense faith in the tools and skills that are developed in therapy, as well as what is processed in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that people can take their mental health into their own hands and build a life that is rooted in acceptance, regulation, stability, balance, and self-love. My clients would likely say that: I listen well, provide plenty of psychoeducation, help them increase insight, offer relevant feedback and have a strong faith in their ability to create positive and lasting changes, that improve their quality of life. I have often been told that I create a calming environment, which can be helpful for clients navigating difficult challenges. My style can at times include lighthearted humor when appropriate, which also serves to strengthen the therapeutic alliance. Furthermore, I can challenge my clients in a way that doesn't dismiss their feelings but helps them identify unhelpful patterns.

For more than 13 years, I have helped clients navigate life's challenges with compassion, practical guidance, and evidence-based treatment. My advanced clinical training includes education at Princeton and Columbia University, and I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, panic attacks, substance use, relationship concerns, men's issues, life transitions, and sports performance. I also work with couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and break unhealthy relationship patterns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with women navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning, yet feel stretched thin, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns of overthinking and self-doubt. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin responding in ways that feel steadier and more aligned. My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I integrate attachment-informed and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build self-trust, and feel more grounded and confident in their relationships and daily lives. I provide telehealth therapy throughout New York and work with adults seeking meaningful, lasting change.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal!
