Introduction

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and families in Austin, TX. My education includes Bachelor of Social Work from Texas State University and Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice since 2021 and strive to bring intentional, compassionate therapy services to the Austin community. I work with young adults, teens, and children and offer parent coaching. For children, I utilize play-based, child-centered approaches. For all clients, I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including attachment theory, nature-based, mindfulness, self-compassion, Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Issue areas include life transitions, anxiety, depression, school-related challenges, regulation skills, trauma, cultural identity, and worthiness. As a Brown woman and social justice defender, my heart and actions embrace equity and inclusivity. I strive to provide quality mental health services and ensure quality services are accessible to all people. I hold the belief that we all possess the innate ability to confront, explore, process, and heal. Oftentimes it’s helpful to do so alongside an empowering and caring professional. I enjoy helping others identify and lean into their strengths and create actionable steps for growth.
