Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

Welcome to my profile! My name is Vanessa Armendariz and I am an LCSW. I enjoy working with clients who are feeling low in their mood and having difficulty with the challenges and curve balls that life throws at us. I hope to work with you.

My approach

My way of working with clients is teaching clients how to be self-aware of self-defeating thoughts and actions that get in the way of them living a meaningful life. I use CBT and person-centered approach.

My focus

I am comfortable working with adults who are struggling with depression and anxiety. Clients who are having a difficult time with life transitions, divorce, grief, and any other stressful event during young adulthood and mid-life.

My communication style

I create a warm and caring approach along with one filled with humor and authenticity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy helping others as it gives me a sense of purpose in life.

My goals for you

We will work together to create your treatment goals.

My first session with you

During the first session, I will ask several questions to learn about you and how I can best support you.
