“You can choose to re-write your story at anytime. It’s your story to tell.”

— Dr. Vanessa Milagros, PhD, LMHC, QS

  • "I’ve been to therapy twice before in person and they all felt like very temporary fixes to my problems. My therapist was very attentive and works with you on your goals at your own pace. I really appreciate how she allows me to talk about how I’ve been feeling while also remembering the goal we created together in the beginning. I’ve never felt more listened to! She maintains professionalism while being friendly and warm at the same time. Highly recommend and I’m so grateful for her!"

  • "Dr. Vanessa was the first person I've worked with getting help with my mental health. I'm grateful that I was lucky to work with her she was very comfortable to talk to. She deals with a variety of different issues. In the span of time together I was able to create boundaries while reinforcing them, understanding the concept of forgiving myself, and recieved tools & resources to help me continue my journey of growth. I totally recommend working with Dr. Vanessa."

  • "Vanessa is the BEST counselor. I had a difficult time finding someone I felt comfortable sharing my experiences with and I could not have been happier finding her! She is very kind, compassionate, and an amazing listener. She is very thorough during sessions and keeps track of your progress. If you are looking for a trustworthy and uplifting counselor, I could not recommend her more!"

  • "I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the help and advice she gave me! This was my first experience with counseling of any kind and I am not someone that likes to open up or talk about myself, so I was very nervous when I finally made the decision to ask for help. She was very understanding and patient with me from our first meeting, making me feel comfortable right away and gain the confidence to open up to her and get the advice I needed. I am just so grateful for everything she has helped me work through, and would highly recommend her services to anyone interested. Thank you again Vanessa!"

  • "Dr. Vanessa is incredible! She is genuine, intentional and detailed. She doesn't miss a beat when I speak, she catches things I didn't even realize I said/brought up-- this is exactly what you need when you go for counseling. I can talk circles around things but she calls me out on everything that needs me to take a real/deeper look. I'm actually growing and owning things I wouldn't have had the courage to in the past, along with that I've learned to let other things go. Let me tell you, Dr. Vanessa is a God sent blessing!"
