Getting to know Vanessa Chonou

I am a compassionate mental health therapist who believes in a collaborative client centered approach towards abundance and growth. My work is guided by providing a space where clients can feel safe, respected, and empowered. I believe healing begins when people feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re carrying. Together we’ll move forward with intention toward meaningful progress.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Individual Therapy with me is a space for reflection, clarity, and balance. I work with clients navigating anxiety, self esteem challenges, life transitions, self doubt, depression, relational changes, trauma, and grief. I value meeting clients where they are and honoring their lived experiences, culture, and personal values. I understand how hard it can be to ask for support especially when holding things together has occurred for so long.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Treatment may involve an initial assessment to identify the presenting concerns, strengths, safety concerns and goals that matter to you. Sessions will focus on developing coping skills increasing emotional awareness and addressing unhelpful thought and behavioral problems. Progress will be reviewed regularly and the approach adjusted to support your growth and needs.
