Getting to know Vanessa Porea

Hi! My name is Vanessa Porea and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan. I currently work full time in community mental health as a trainer and consultant, but enjoy doing direct work with clients after hours. I began my career working in a juvenile justice and foster care program in Detroit, Michigan before moving to Los Angeles to further specialize in addiction studies at UCLA. I have worked in both private and community mental health across several positions, ranging from case manager to Clinical Director of a residential treatment home. I have significant experience working with individuals struggling with severe mental illness, addiction, crisis, and those experiencing homelessness. I am passionate about helping those I work with to feel empowered in knowing they are more than their current situation and diagnosis, and that they can rebuild a full, satisfying life.

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.
