Vanessa Soleil

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) who works with adults seeking holistic healing and wellness. My goal is to provide a warm, culturally-aware and collaborative environment to support clients in their journey of self-discovery, growth, and wholeness. I enjoy working with members of the LGBQ+, trans, poly communities and specialize in relationship and family-of-origin concerns, spirituality, self-esteem, identity issues, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and stress. Current events have created a collective stress & trauma response. I will work to bring clients into their bodies, to feel safer. In a style that honors collaboration, harnesses the strengths and wisdom of clients, I prioritize safety and authentic relating in my approach to therapy. I bring together trauma-informed skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and body-based meditation practices. I also work with couples and triads in relationship and am informed by attachment theory and Gottman Method. With a social justice and anti-oppression lens, I work to understand how our identities, communities, and social environments influence our well-being.
