Vanessa Richards

Introduction

My name is Vanessa Richards. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor. I have a passion for helping others struggling with mental health, specifically anxiety, depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. My promise is to always provide a safe and non-judgmental space for the client throughout the therapeutic process.

For the majority of my career, I have worked at Dual Diagnosis programs with substance abuse and low to high acuity mental health patients. My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining mind, body, and spirit. I am spiritual and respectful of all faiths and denominations.

My goal is to advocate for the client, provide unconditional support and empathy, as well as educate and provide healthy tools that he/she/they can implement in their daily lives and return to living a life that makes the client feel purposeful and happy. Clients will learn how to live a healthy life and be able to achieve their own personal goals throughout therapy.  I will always meet you where you are on your journey!
