Vanessa Nash

My communication style

I prefer direct, humorous communication with my clients. I want you to feel comfortable and like therapy is a conversation, rather than a lecture. Therapy doesn't always have to feel difficult and uncomfortable to be effective.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in the field of psychology since I was young. I became interested in working with first responders and military members because my family has both retired and active military and law enforcement members.

My goals for you

Clients are in charge of their goal-setting. Goals may change between sessions. I prefer to be flexible and meet my clients where they are at. This may mean that in one session we are working on one issue, and in the next session we may be discussing something else.

Our first session

During our first session, it is about getting to know one another. It is about deciding if I am the right fit for you as your therapist. We will discuss what to expect from therapy, what brought you into therapy, and what you hope to gain from therapy, as well as set some small goals for the following session.

I identify as...
