Vania DJavid

Vania integrates aspects of existential, emotion regulation, harm reduction, and mindfulness-based therapies in order to help her clients build a robust sense of agency by expanding awareness and ownership of their emotions and desires. As this can only occur in the context of a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, Vania strives to create a space where clients can rediscover a sense of curiosity and authenticity for their personal experience, and explore how this manifests in the here-and-now of therapy. She encourages her clients to gain insight and awareness into maladaptive patterns of being and relating in the world that often perpetuate suffering and contribute to lack of fulfillment and joy. She works with clients to discover how nonsensical symptoms make sense, and how suffering points them in the direction of growth. Therapy gives you another lens through which to view yourself and your experience. You can give voice to what happened, which can immediately lessen the power that the experience has held over you. Our sessions are a place for you to share anything and everything. We'll move at a comfortable pace and can begin by exploring pressing concerns and challenges that may or may not be related to the abuse. I understand that everyone experiences and heals from trauma differently, which is why we develop a trauma therapy strategy that best addresses, supports, and values your unique experience, needs, and therapy goals. In sessions, we can address and work through feelings of depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationship issues, which are extremely common following sexual trauma. I can help you identify and mitigate triggers, develop healthy coping skills and challenge and reframe negative thoughts. Using mindfulness techniques, you can also begin to feel safe in the present moment and increase your capacity for self-compassion. You are not alone, and I believe that you have an inherent capacity for healing. In working as a sexual abuse counselor for almost a decade, I've helped many people work through their pain and have witnessed remarkable healing. With help and support, it is possible to tap into your innate resiliency, heal, grow and thrive. You can use your voice, develop and maintain healthy relationships, and engage in a wonderful process of self-discovery and self-love.

Based on our first visit, I would say she is so far a great therapist and a good listener.

Feels great to talk to her. She is very compassionate.

October 11, 2023Sophie T.Verified patient

I have never felt more heard or seen than in my sessions with Vania. The guidance and validation she has given me is irreplaceable. Vania embodies a confident wisdom like no other. I've been unable to find anyone else with the capacity to hold my trauma and grief in such a grounded and meaningful way. She is the fiercest of women, and I am so profoundly grateful for how she's helped me navigate both the intensity and joy of life.

JSVerified patient

I was there 10 minutes prior and no one was at the office. I called and left a message, knocked on the door and no answer. Wouldn’t recommend her, not a professional. Seek help elsewhere.

July 3, 2024Larry R.Verified patient

Did a video call she was 10 minutes late and didn’t address it. She wanted to immediately ask lots of questions which is totally normal but she wanted every trauma I had ever experienced in as much detail as possible she said. This seemed very strange for a first visit but I went with it because I thought maybe this is the processing for EMDR which she had listed in her experience and I wrote I wanted on my intake for her office. Only to find out at the end she does not do EMDR. I was confused why she had this listed on her Zocdoc bio or why she didn’t read my intake for her office. Lastly I did tell her I was working closely with a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis. She then decided to give her opinion on a medication that I did not say I was even going to take which did sound very fear mongering. She said it would not help me after only talking to me for 30 minutes then saying well Im not trained in psychiatry.

I highly recommend Vania! Her empathetic approach and insightful guidance have truly helped me navigate challenges and find clarity. I’m grateful for the support on my journey towards personal growth and healing.

BDVerified patient

Vania was the best therapist I’ve had. She helped me open up in a way I had not been able to and helped me process my traumas. She was very accommodating, working with me and my availability, as well as with my health insurance to get me covered. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs mental health counseling.

ECVerified patient

Been seeing Vania for about a year now. Nothing but positives things to say about our time so far. I was really skeptical about counseling/therapy going in but Vania had made the experience easy and comfortable. There is no feelings of pressure or judgement, I feel I’m able to get through stuff at my own pace. She’s been a huge help through these tough times in my life. Would highly recommend

MHVerified patient

If you prefer someone who is attentive, compassionate and direct, you will like her. I'm always suspicious of therapists who have little to say... I'm not sure if they are prolonging therapy to keep the money coming in, or if they are thinking about their chores. In my experience there are too many of those kinds of therapists out there. Vania is definitely not like that, rather I have come to know that she loves her job, she's very professional and she remembers you.

LWVerified patient

Vania is motivating without being condescending or judgmental; when you're struggling to make positive changes, it is incredibly encouraging to have the support of someone so skilled and compassionate! Vania's thoughtful feedback is also really helpful when you're feeling stuck, or need a little direction to get back on track. Because of this, I can confidently recommend Vania to anyone looking for therapist and hoping to make real change!

JAVerified patient

I'm not sure how other people feel about their therapists, but I can say with absolute conviction that I chose the right one. Not only does she truly care about how I feel, but she gives real, honest feedback. Her questions stay with me throughout the week. I have grown so much.

SGVerified patient

VANIA is, hands down, the most caring, empathetic, wonderful therapist I have ever seen. Having been to a few therapists prior to seeing her, I was completely blown away by the difference in my sessions with Vania. She really is invested in her patients, and genuinely listens and responds to you. She is not your typical therapist, she will call you out, make you dig deep, laugh with you, cry with you, and tell you like it is, even when you might not want to hear it. ;) She completely changed my life, I use her advice often, like I have a mini-Vania on my shoulder coaching me. If you are really, truly ready to help yourself and grow, Vania is the way to go.

BGVerified patient

Vania's style of open, direct communication combined with empathy and humor makes the whole process of improving yourself seem more fun and less intimidating. I will tell you that what will take you 5 or 6 sessions with another counselor, you will do in 2 or 3 with Vania. You're not going to dance around the issue, you will confront the issue, process and heal. Her ability to really listen to me and ask questions that quickly get me to see my path more clearly is truly a special skill. I can honestly say that I cannot imagine going to see anyone else. If you are willing to really look at yourself and willing to laugh at yourself and willing to improve, don't hesitate...call Vania today!

SAVerified patient

I had gone to other therapists in the past, but until I worked with Vania, I was never able to get to the true heart of the matter, make peace with myself, and move on to have the life that I always wanted. I have recommended her to many friends who have raved about her, and thanked me over and over again for the introduction. I am very grateful to Vania. She has truly been a gift in my life!
