I'm Vanessa Stay, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and owner of Rooted in Care Counseling. I am passionate about supporting people through their unique experiences with mental health, and strive to create a warm, compassionate, structured space for clients to grow and achieve their goals
I specialize in Trauma, CBT, Relational, and Person Centered Therapy, while continuously being mindful of how systemic issues may affect my clients. Along with my clinical work, I have also been published in The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health, where I discuss the intersections of race, LGBT+ identity, and mental health
My therapeutic style can best be described as person-centered, collaborative, and evidenced-based. I believe that the client is the expert in their own lives, so your thoughts, experiences, and perspectives will be invaluable as we work together to develop individualized plans and goals.
