Getting to know Vanessa Palomera

Did you have a rough childhood? Have you felt misunderstood and lonely despite having friends? Have your traumas led to anxiety or depression in adulthood? Have you had trouble trusting people or believing that things will work out in your favor? My goal is to help you heal from the challenges of your past so that you can create a healthy, fulfilling life for yourself. Specializing in trauma therapy, I provide a supportive space where we can clear out the traumas together and help your brain create shifts so that you are free from your past hurts. Using techniques like EMDR, Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Inner Child work, I focus on helping you lose the weight of unresolved trauma and start a new chapter in life with a renewed sense of peace and purpose. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University – Los Angeles and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a licensed psychotherapist, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight into the world of trauma therapy. In my practice, I love working with people who have been through childhood trauma, who need support and evidence-based methods to achieve meaningful change. I am trained in advanced trauma techniques like EMDR, Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Inner Child work, all tailored to address the complex needs of my clients.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, my aim is to understand you and your hopes for the future, create a foundation of trust and set a plan for treatment. I take a gentle and collaborate approach to my treatment. After gathering some of your history, we dive into providing you new coping tools to manage day to day stressors and challenges. Then we tools like EMDR and Rapid Resolution Therapy, which help process past trauma without re-living it. By the end of our early sessions, you’ll start to feel a shift—a sense of clarity, empowerment, and the first steps toward lasting healing.
