Deidre Campen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota. Deidre has extensive experience working with adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), women’s issues, depression, grief, anxiety, and life transitions.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 years of experience treating individuals across the lifespan. I have worked in outpatient settings and partial hospitalization programs, specializing in depression, anxiety, mood issues, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), posttraumatic stress (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), insomnia, and psychotic conditions. I provide initial assessments, diagnosis, and medication management, with a focus on delivering compassionate, client-centered care.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change? Maybe anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges keep showing up in ways that make it hard to move forward. Or perhaps becoming pregnant, adjusting to life after having a baby, or navigating fertility or postpartum changes has brought up emotions you weren’t expecting. I help people learn how to better understand and regulate their emotions so they can respond to life with more clarity and confidence. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and authentic. I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest about what’s hard while also learning ways to make everyday life feel easier. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and look at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck—while also building practical tools that make a real difference outside of session. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to navigate things on your own. If you live in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Virginia and are open to telehealth sessions, I’d be happy to connect to talk more, answer any questions you may have, and see if working together feels like the right fit.

Dr. Vanessa Vitiello is a Licensed Psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health, offering in-person sessions in New Jersey and New York, as well as online care via the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), which makes it easier for clients to find a therapist near them. She works with individuals navigating postpartum anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, and the emotional shifts that often accompany new motherhood. Many clients seeking a mental health therapist are thoughtful, high-achieving individuals who feel pressure to “do it all” while managing the mental and emotional load of parenting. Dr. Vitiello provides a warm, collaborative space to explore these experiences, reduce anxiety, and build more supportive ways of coping through counseling. Her approach integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and body-based practices to support both emotional and physical well-being. She is also a certified yoga teacher. That training informs her work in helping clients feel more grounded and regulated during times of stress. It’s a privilege to support individuals during this important transition. Dr. Vitiello is committed to providing care that is compassionate, affirming, and responsive to the unique needs of the perinatal community.

My ideal client wants to get the most out of their life by incorporating improved psychological and spiritual practices. My deeply empathic approach is supported by advanced training. My 20-plus years of post-graduate experience allow clients to receive effective, personal treatment. I have successfully treated many people who have struggled with depression, anxiety, addiction, and grief and loss. I always try to honor the brave decision it takes to seek professional help, and I take that commitment seriously. My extensive training and experience in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy allow for the professional fluency and personal warmth needed to support people through depression, anxiety, addiction, and grief and loss. For years, I have helped adults and adolescents reach personal goals that once felt out of reach. Come in for a free face-to-face consultation, and I will discuss treatment options that I provide, as well as options other professionals provide. You have everything to gain by reaching out for help, and I look forward to working with you. You don't have to walk your road alone.

I work with clients to create an environment that feels supportive, helpful, and safe. I tailor the therapy experience to each person. Sessions can be whatever you need them to be in that moment. There's no "right" way to do therapy! I treat clients holistically, as I believe that physical, mental, and social health are all connected.

I am excited to start each session with my clients, picking up from our conversation last week, or exploring something new. Therapy is easier, and frankly more fun, when therapeutic work doesn't feel like a chore. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore new perspectives and practice new solutions. I primarily use systemic therapies, which help us understand issues within different contexts, like family, work, or culture. By understanding your daily life, and your systems, we can explore how to evolve smaller solutions so they feel achievable. Each time we talk, we build upon our therapy goals, moving with life. Communication is everything in couples therapy. Combining our goals, or empathizing with past injuries, requires finding new ways to talk, and listen. Often the beginning of couples work requires building trust to believe and understand one another. I utilize Gottman Method and emotion-focused work to help couples to connect to shared goals and to each other. For individuals, I commonly work with mood conditions (anxiety, depression, etc.), as well as exploring familial or social relationships. Solution-focused work helps with managing symptoms and finding smaller achievements that build into bigger change over time. It's then important to evolve those solutions in natural systems, like family or work contexts.

I have 22 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. My approach is supportive, empathetic and, above all, pragmatic. While understanding the past is essential, change can only occur in the present. I will challenge you to be an active partner in therapy and to work toward ongoing insight, growth, and positive change both in and outside of sessions. My experience ranges from psychotherapy with adults, teens, and couples to counseling trauma survivors with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to make a major change, overcome a life blow or obstacle, or to break a chronic pattern, I will meet you where you are at. Please note that after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.

Each person is unique, with their own set of strengths and challenges. We are all here to learn and grow in life, if we so choose, and I’m here to support you in that process. Working together, we will learn more about you, who you are, what is important to you, and how to improve your relationship with yourself and with others. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, and I have been doing this work for well over a decade. I have supported clients through many challenges, helping them feel better about themselves, feel more empowered to handle what comes their way, and realize their goals and dreams. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing if our connection is a good fit.
