About Vanessa Stafford

If you’re feeling that it’s time to figure out the confusion or discord in your relationship…
YOU”VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!☮

Hi! I’m Vanessa Stafford, a licensed master level clinician with over 40 years of professional experience in the State of Michigan. More importantly I am someone who sparks change in people’s lives and relationships.

I support individuals and couples who want to regain or feel fulfilled in their connection with their partner. My work is geared towards supporting clients in exploring their history and patterns of behavior that may be negatively impacting the relationship… uncovering behaviors they may not even be aware, while identifying tools that support and sustain a more positive relationship. I support clients in finding finding peace and balance. ☮

My training and experience is geared primarily towards helping clients who are coping with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse. I have extensive experience and training in helping couples in setting boundaries while finding peace, uncovering the “love she most desires and the respect he desperately needs”, identifying past complex trauma that may be creeping into current relationships, and batterer intervention, just to name a few.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you hold the key for identifying your strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take this first step towards a change is a key indicator that you are ready and capable of advocating for change.

My clients are very highly motivated and committed to making changes in their love life, and I enjoy supporting and providing techniques so that they can reach their potential and ultimately succeed! I know that your time and money is valuable so I work diligently to be as structured and goal-oriented as possible.

If you are ready to put in the work, you will be amazed at how capable you are as you explore parts of yourself you never knew existed. I am here to support & empower you in your journey.

I challenge you to take the next step by signing up for an available time on my portal. www.betterhelp.com/Vanessa-Stafford

Thank you for seeking the support you need!

Vanessa Stafford, LMSW
