We offer therapy for Pacific Mind Health patients who are also receiving care through our medication management program, providing a connected and supportive treatment experience. Vanessa Fernandez is an associate clinical social worker who works with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, behavioral challenges, women’s health concerns, gender-related issues, and life transitions. She is passionate about providing culturally responsive care and helping clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward healing, resilience, and personal growth.
Vanessa utilizes evidence-based approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based practices. She collaborates with clients to build resilience, develop coping skills, increase self-awareness, and achieve meaningful goals.
Vanessa believes healing happens through connection, trust, and self-compassion. She provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up authentically, explore their experiences, and feel supported every step of the way. Vanessa is fluent in English and Spanish.
