ABOUT VANESSA CRAWFORD COUNSELING

I have earned two masters degrees in mental health counseling and clinical psychology.

Currently, I am completing my Doctor of Philosophy in psychology. 

I began my journey in the mental health field 20 years ago. It has been a learning experience ever since. I was drawn to the field because I genuinely feel a deep connection with others, and I believe that meaningful connection is a tool for healing from the pain of trauma. 

I offer a humanistic approach that intersperses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches. I have experience in working with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, personality, disorders, and ADD/ADHD. 

I offer diagnostic and immigration evaluations. My services are rendered virtually. In the near future, I will be offering in person bovine assisted therapy.

I offer services in both Spanish and English. 

When I was asked: "What really inspired you to become a therapist?" 

I had one simple and reverent response. 

I was raised between two countries. That early experience allowed me to see people in a different light. I attended a school, where there was a huge, diverse and multicultural student body. I went to school with children from India, Japan, Brazil, China, Africa, and more. 

I believe that early experience allowed me to develop great depth and connect to people on another level.

I have also experienced adversity and personal challenges that have allowed me to connect to my own resilience and develop great empathy to the struggles of others.
