Vanessa Gamino
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
My goal is to create a safe, compassionate environment where you can explore your story, process your pain, and move toward healing at your own pace.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in grief, loss, and trauma, with a deep commitment to supporting BIPOC individuals and communities. I will provide a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space where you can speak openly and be fully yourself. Whether you’re navigating relationships, academic pressures, mental health concerns, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here to support you. I welcome students of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. I draw from a blend of narrative therapy, somatic practices, and mindfulness to support clients in reconnecting with their inner strength. You don’t have to go through it alone—healing, growth, and clarity start with a conversation.
