Vanessa Baldeon, LSW

IFS Informed Psychotherapist

If you're caught in patterns that no longer serve you, feeling overwhelmed by emotions you don’t quite understand, or just trying to make sense of why things feel off, therapy can be a grounding space to begin that journey.

My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe the most important part is meeting you exactly where you are — without judgment, pressure, or expectations
