Getting to know Dr. Vashonna Etienne

ALL SESSIONS ARE MANAGED AND BILLED VIA HEADWAY. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO CREATE A HEADWAY ACCOUNT AND COMPLETE YOUR INTAKE FORMS PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. Unresolved issues and continuous conflict in your relationship can have a negative affect on your mental health. The right therapist will help you to successfully communicate with your partner and change unpleasant behaviors that prevent a deeper emotional connection. Working with me may NOT be blissful as I am a firm believer that barriers to connection need to be directly addressed even if it is uncomfortable. Therapy is not an easy plight, but if you do the therapeutic work required, you will experience emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.

Unaddressed conflicts and ongoing struggles in your relationship can have a profound impact on your mental health. As a licensed and experienced relationship therapist, I'll guide you through the process of revitalizing your connection. Therapy isn't always easy, but it's a courageous step towards transformation. Schedule your appointment today! ***You will be required to create an account with Headway and submit all the required documentation prior to your scheduled appointment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
