Vanessa Richter
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·MSW, LICSWAbout
Being a young person today is complex. Between school or work pressures, relationships, family dynamics, and the constant noise of the digital world, life can feel overwhelming. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults, offering a supportive space during periods of transition and uncertainty where clients feel heard and understood. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to support growth, resilience, healthier patterns, and a stronger sense of self, with the goal of helping clients build more fulfilling and aligned lives. My practice is rooted in authenticity, humor, compassion, and patience. I believe healing happens within trusting relationships, so building genuine connection is central to my work. Whether clients are navigating anxiety, past trauma, or unhelpful patterns, I walk alongside them as they explore new ways of responding to life’s challenges and relationships. If you'd like to see if we'd be a good fit for your healing journey, I would be happy to set up a free 15 minute consult.
