A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2004, Vanessa holds a Bachelor’s degree from McGill University and a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work. Her journey at Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy began in 1997, and her diverse roles have ranged from therapist and clinic supervisor to Director of School-Based Mental Health Programs and currently the Director of Clinical Services.

Vanessa’s passion extends beyond her professional life. A lifelong New Yorker, she treasures the city’s vibrancy but also seeks solace in nature.

As the Director of Clinical Services, Vanessa oversees Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy’s main clinic and all school-based programs, providing essential support and supervision to staff.
