Therapy can be a powerful healing tool to help us all reach our full potential and establish control where it may be missing.

I use an integrative approach of person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused therapies — including DBT, CBT, ACT, trauma-informed, and crisis intervention methods.
I work with both individuals and couples. I often see folks working through anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, grief and bereavement, challenges with body image/self esteem/confidence and perinatal/prenatal/postnatal mental health. I work with LGBTQ+ community members and am gender affirming. I find that in providing an additional avenue of support, it allows for the client to self-explore, building up their confidence and belief in themselves that with the appropriate skills and tools, they can take on all that life has for them.

My therapeutic style can best be described as person-centered, collaborative, and evidenced-based, while also maintaining a social-justice oriented view throughout.
My name is Vanessa, and I am the owner of Rooted in Care Counseling. I am passionate about supporting people through their unique experiences with mental health, and specialize in working with Black and other People of Color. I have always strived to be aware of how outside systemic issues and factors contribute to disparities in mental health care, particularly in communities of color. As a Black therapist, I believe that comprehensive mental health treatment acknowledges and accounts for how discrimination and other social barriers can affect one’s ability to process their experiences and safely navigate the world.
