Getting to know Vanesa Zografski

Vanesa Zografski, M.A., LPC, NCC, works with adults, adolescents, and couples navigating life transitions — from new parenthood to redefining life after the kids leave home. Her sessions blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and DBT skills, tailored to what each client actually needs. She brings a direct, warm style and a bicultural perspective, having grown up between Eastern Europe and the U.S. Tides Mental Health provides integrated therapy and medication support under one roof, so Vanesa can coordinate closely with a psychiatric provider if that becomes part of your care

What should a new client know about working with you?

I lead with direct, honest feedback, paired with real warmth rather than clinical distance. If therapy has felt too vague or too slow before, that's exactly the gap I try to close. We'll move at a pace that respects your autonomy, but I won't just nod along — I'll tell you what I'm noticing, and we'll figure out together what actually helps.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We'll start by getting clear on your values and what's actually pulling at you right now, not just symptoms, but the bigger picture of who you're trying to become. From there, we'll bring in tools like Internal Family Systems or DBT skills depending on what fits, and revisit your goals as things shift. My hope is that you leave with skills you keep using long after our sessions end
