A note from Vanessa
My name is Dr. Vanessa Smith. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is warm, empathetic, and empowering, creating a safe space for you to explore and grow. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve their personal goals. I’m approachable, understanding, and grounded in my work. In our sessions, I’ll help you recognize that life is full of challenges, but it’s how we respond to them that matters. Together, we’ll focus on building resilience, so you can face obstacles without letting them overtake your life.
