Getting to know Vanessa Scarlata

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! Greetings! I am so glad you are here. I am Vanessa Lletget Negri, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Mateo, California, with a special interest in Perinatal Mental Health. I care for clients utilizing cultural humility and a trauma-focused lens. My specialty includes addressing complex psychosocial stressors from pregnancy loss and supporting adjustments through conception, pregnancy, and postpartum journeys. Additionally, I specialize in anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, risk assessment, employment-related stress, and relationship conflict. My approach I am trained in Perinatal Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Perinatal and Neonatal grief counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy—including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—Behavioral Activation, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), and Reiki Level I. My focus I hold a Master’s in Social Work from San José State University and have over 15 years of experience clinically supporting children, youth, and families in underserved communities, as well as comprehensive perinatal social work. My practice has focused on supporting maternal-child experiences such as pregnancy option considerations, infertility, high-risk pregnancies, complex psychosocial situations, and supporting parents during their infant’s NICU hospitalization. I am comfortable treating mood and anxiety disorders, Perinatal OCD, and PTSD. My communication style My communication style is calm, warm, accommodating, and direct. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. I have found that I am a good fit for families, young adults, and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, social pressures, and relationship conflicts.
