Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW)
About Vanessa
I’m Vanessa Buchanan, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. With six years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction—helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed sense of purpose.
My approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practice. I specialize in supporting women through trauma recovery, posttraumatic stress, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and family-of-origin issues. I also have experience with process addictions and substance use concerns, as well as supporting older adults through life transitions and aging-related challenges.
For clients seeking a faith-integrated approach, I’m honored to incorporate Christian perspectives into our work together. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you’re the expert of your own story, and I’m here to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect. Whether you’re processing past wounds, navigating present struggles, or seeking greater meaning and direction, I’m committed to creating a safe, affirming space for your healing and growth.
