Getting to know Vanessa Torres

As a practitioner with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, I believe we are all encouraged to pursue things based on thought. Challenging negative thoughts and understanding them is a critical part of your journey. To believe every thought that enters your mind could be debilitating, so I work to identify which thoughts are causing strife in your life. Clients are able to explore their conscious thoughts with my guidance in a safe, non-judgmental space. Much of my work involves mindfulness-learning how to stay present and allowing clients to work through issues impacting their lives. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, especially families as a whole. My goal is to create hope and coach you through existing challenges. I also work individually with adults seeking to increase self-esteem, which may stem from poor body image or past trauma. The connection between mind and body is crucial; exploring how we care for ourselves directly affects how our body and mind feel. I will help you expand your mind and work at its best potential by finding solutions so you feel more grounded in life, whether on your own or with family.
