Therapist Spotlight: Vanessa

“Validation is one of the most important facets of mental health. Your feelings are never wrong, because they are yours.”

Vanessa founded Serenity Counseling in 2008 as a therapy practice in a comfortable, non-clinical setting. While she still loves providing clinical care, she enjoys supervising the exceptional therapists who work at Serenity and imparting the knowledge gained over two decades of clinical experience. Vanessa is always excited to learn new therapeutic modalities, most recently Internal Family Systems (IFS), and implement them in her practice. When she’s not at work, she’s spending time with her husband of 24 years, 19 year old son and soon-to-be 14 year old daughter!
