Getting to know Vanessa Estrada Baron
Hello, my name is Vanessa Estrada Baron, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton. I identify as a first-generation Latina, heterosexual, cisgender woman. I'm passionate about working with BIPOC families, couples, and individuals. Additionally, I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ and undocumented/DACAmented communities. I hope we can work together in finding meaning and feeling satisfied with where your life is heading.
I utilize a range of evidence-based therapies, including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and art therapy interventions, all with an anti-racist and anti-oppressive approach. These approaches allow us to build a therapeutic connection and give us a roadmap in this therapy journey. As we work together, there may be some wounds uncovered, brought on by childhood trauma, intergenerational trauma, societal injustices, or any other significant events that you’d be willing to explore. I hope to provide a safe space to process your feelings and would be honored to be a tool for you.
Aside from being a therapist, I am a wife, a mother to a one-year-old daughter, a daughter of two immigrant parents, and a sister to a brother and sister. Some of my self-care includes hiking, playing video games, building Legos with my daughter, taking baths, and spending time with my parents. I am looking forward to meeting you! Asking for help is not easy, so if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a recent loss, anger, internal or external conflict, or you’re looking to find meaning, I can already tell your resilience!
What should a new client know about working with you?
At our first session, I hope to get to know each other and build a strong connection in order to feel comfortable while we dive into your childhood or any other time of your life where you feel it all started.

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.
