Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Vanessa believes in a collaborative approach to treatment, and highly encourages clients to participate and partner with therapists in the treatment planning process. Pulling from Cognitive-Behavioral and Positive Psychology theories, Vanessa helps clients improve areas of their lives through teaching them how to change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, focusing on their strengths, and psychoeducation.

****YOUNG ADULT'S PROCESS GROUP****
I am currently taking members for a Young Adult's Process Group. Join a group of young men and women seeking to learn more about themselves, how to relate to other, and how to deal with life's difficulties. I accept men and women ages 18-25. Individuals from all diverse backgrounds, cultures, and orientations are welcome.


**Skype Sessions**
For those who have busy lives, live out of area, or college students who leave the LA area frequently to visit home, I also offer Skype sessions.
