Vanessa

I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Registered Yoga Teacher with over 500 hours of training. I'm also a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists and a Trained Brainspotting Professional. After 25 years of providing mental health counseling, behavior analysis services,  consultation, clinical supervision and managing program operations, I am still passionate about empowering others in their own journey of self discovery and holding space in a safe, non-judgmental way. I value authenticity, and to be able to work with clients from a deep place of connection, attunement, and relatedness, I do my own "work" every day. The ability to serve others in private practice as a mental health therapist has been such a privilege and a blessing.

Yoga philosophy has always been a big part of my life since childhood through my father who dedicated his personal life to studying this ancient philosophy and living his life through its teachings. It was through my own yoga journey, where I discovered how yoga philosophy has been interwoven into many of the modern psychotherapy models that are widely used today. Each of the evidenced based methods I use with clients has made an impact in my own personal path of finding serenity and harmony and it is my wish to share this gift with you.
