I wish I could have continued working with her, however my availability changed and our schedules became incompatible.

Getting to know Vanessa Engelbert
Hello, my name is Vanessa! As a client-centered, strength-based therapist, I will meet you where you are, listen with empathy, and provide you with support and unconditional positive regard. I am skilled in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also work with those in recovery from substance abuse/addiction, eating disorders, codependency, and co-occurring chronic medical issues. Do you want to improve your relationships and learn to establish healthy boundaries? Increase self-esteem and self-acceptance or learn to cope with stress? I can help you identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, set goals in a collaborative process, then act as a mirror for your inner experience as you find your true values and sense of self. I will help you as I provide healing-centered therapy. I even have special training in Brainspotting, trauma-informed yoga, and Intuitive Eating to offer if you are interested! I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas.
What should a new client know about working with you?
First, we will get to know each other so I can understand what is bringing you to therapy and understand your own unique needs and desires. I will then collaborate with you and assist you to define your therapy goals and provide you with a treatment plan based on evidence so that you can achieve those goals. I will not tell you how to achieve your goals, rather, I will be a supportive guide along the way. I will assist you to identify emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors within yourself and your relationships that may or may not be serving you. This process will not always be comfortable, however, I will be here to support you. If you persevere you will likely see changes in your life and you will have the opportunity to change these patterns in a positive way.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
