Vannesa Arrivillaga-Rauda

My communication style

I provide a warm and inviting tone and environment for clients. I make sure clients feel heard and seen, as it is important to me that my clients feel like they are taken into consideration throughout the therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy helping individuals through their rough patches in life, whether that's with their short-term goals, long-term goals, bad-habit-based, or trauma-based, amongst other tumultuous aspects encountered throughout the complications of life.

My goals for you

I let the clients take the lead with goal setting. It is important to me that the client feels heard, and although I might guide them when needed, it is important that the client's voice what they need from therapy and can work together with the therapist to help achieve what is most important to them.

Our first session

I focus on making sure a good rapport is built at the beginning of any therapeutic alliance. I feel that if a strong therapeutic relationship is built, that's when the real work can begin.
