Best for

This provider is best suited for adults seeking clinical support to prepare for or integrate psychedelic experiences, people processing challenging or confusing material after a journey, and those wanting to explore identity, relationships and life transitions with therapeutic guidance.

• Adults experiencing anxiety or depression
• People working with panic-related symptoms or trauma-related material

Approach

The practice combines depth psychology, trauma-informed principles, somatic awareness and evidence-based therapies. Vanessa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), process-oriented work and creative methods as appropriate to the client’s needs.

Treatment typically begins with attention to what happened and how it is settling in the body and mind; preparation work may include intention-setting, expectation management and building emotional resources. Integration sessions focus on grounding insights in the client’s values and supporting practical steps to embody change over time.

Sessions are described as warm, compassionate and steady, with a willingness to challenge gently where it supports growth. The clinician adapts techniques to what emerges in-session and supports clients to develop sustainable practices for nervous system regulation and meaning-making.
