Vanessa Gilchrist, MA, LMFT
Approach
It takes courage and vulnerability to share your story. I am honored to be able to walk alongside those I work with as they move through their healing journey. I believe that anyone attending counseling is an expert on their own story, and I am committed to collaborating with you to learn how to best help reach your desired goals. My approach is relational, interactive and attachment-based as relationships and connections are the core of human experience and crucial to mental and emotional well-being. Our work together includes exploring and openly processing experiences, highlighting strengths, building effective coping strategies, promoting secure relationships, increasing mind-body connection and achieving new levels of self-awareness, personal growth, and wellness.
Practice
I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families seeking to process through various struggles and difficulties using evidence-based treatments. My trauma-informed approach invites a space of safety, warmth, and authenticity where we navigate issues and process emotions together to enhance resiliency, trust, and self-worth. It is my hope that therapy and our therapeutic alliance will provide you with opportunity for healing, empowerment, and re-authoring of life stories for positive change and growth toward personal fulfillment.
