Vanessa Ingram, LPC — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I am so happy you have found your way here! I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin.

My focus

I am best positioned to serve individuals who are seeking safe spaces where they can explore growth and change.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and other psychodynamic methods.

My communication style

I value clear and direct communication. I strive to cultivate open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner.

My journey to mental healthcare

Prior to becoming a clinician, I worked extensively in social work. That work sparked a desire for me to support individuals in developing internal resources, while exercising social services. I believe that success happens when individuals and families can match the resources they receive with healthy lifestyle choices, self-care, and coping.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to your goals.

Our first session

Our first session is about seeing whether or not I am the best fit for you. The number one indicator of a successful therapeutic alliance is whether or not we are able to build rapport. I am looking forward to meeting you!
