Vanessa Ffrench

I approach therapy with a holistic lens considering mind, body and spirit wellness. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, helping them to become empowered and find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their lives and relationships. Sometimes in life we feel stuck, lost, or simply want to learn more about ourselves - therapy is here to help you heal and grow. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, gender identity questions, life transitions, work/career changes, eating patterns/body image, addiction, and everyday stressors. I work with adults, children and families, and have experience with diverse populations including BIPOC and LGBQTIA. People often come to see me when other modalities of therapy haven't worked, such as just talk therapy. The roots of my training are in psychodynamic theory, meaning I value exploring how past experiences shape how you relate to yourself, others and the world. I also use body-oriented techniques and mindfulness practices to foster a sense of the present moment and enrich and diversify your healing and growth. You are the expert in your life and I am here to help guide you back home to yourself. Additionally, I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship to provide restorative and nurturing emotional experiences. As humans, we inherently need social connection, acceptance, and love; through our relationship I hope to provide a safe space for you to explore your experience, enrich your life, and flourish.
