Vanessa L. Adams

Therapy Approach

I believe that the connection between a therapist and client is crucial to the therapeutic relationship, and in developing a comfortable, trusting and mutually respectful atmosphere. I strive to create a “Safe and Sacred Space” for my clients to be able to open up, be your authentic self, explore life’s ebbs and flows, ask questions, learn, grow, heal and thrive. My approach is warm, calm, empathic, conversational, strength based, client centered, supportive, and non-judgmental.
