I enjoy working with young adult and adolescent clients and the age-specific issues that these groups commonly experience. It's so difficult to be at an age where you're expected to act like an adult but are still treated like a child - this experience can be confusing and breed feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. I work with my clients to help normalize these feelings and experiences as well as help them make sense of things in the world and within themselves through the transition from adolescence into adulthood.

I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety and low mood which may look like a lack of self-confidence; feeling stuck; sense of overwhelm; guilt; shame; disconnection from self and others; and sometimes a general longing for more joy and sense of purpose in day to day life. It can be challenging to balance all life’s conflicting obligations while also making sure not to lose sight of yourself.

Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.

Hey, I’m Vanessa Sedano, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and bilingual(ish) psychotherapist and coach based in Long Beach, CA. My work is about creating a space where you can exhale—a place for deep self-exploration, where old narratives get questioned, and healing feels less like a rigid process and more like coming home to yourself. I believe in the power of unlearning just as much as learning, especially when it comes to generational beliefs, identity, and the privileges (or lack thereof) that shape how we move through the world. Culture and identity aren’t just checkboxes; they’re the lens through which we see, heal, and grow.
