As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) I have helped people at each stage of mental health treatment. This spans from acute psychiatric hospitalization, non-profit community mental health, multiple residential treatment facilities to government agencies. My private practice focuses primarily on treating adolescents and adults with complex trauma, dissociative disorders, PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, relational issues, mood disorders and performance enhancement. I am available as a mental health trainer and consultant for organizations, including business development retreats.
I am currently pursuing continued education and specialization to become certified in the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), which is the cutting edge and gold standard of trauma therapy along with performance enhancement. It is an advanced technique that incorporates many body based disciplines into one discipline and addresses the unconscious ego states/ parts that hold the behaviors that create challenges in relationships.
The therapeutic process is one of illuminating the beauty of becoming whole by honoring the overwhelming feelings of brokenness we all carry. We don't ignore the devastation of suffering and trauma. Together we invest in the intrinsic healing process that opens us to the joy of fully existing within the present moment.

I've been working with Vanessa for around a year and a half and I am so grateful for her and for the progress she has helped me achieve. I had tried other therapists and forms of therapy in the past and just didn't find anyone I melded well with, until I met Vanessa our first session and knew that my relationship with her and with therapy in general would change. I'm very appreciative of the things she helps me with and the ways in which I have been able to grow and develop with her help.

Best therapist ever!

Vanessa Reinarz makes it atop my gratitude list every morning. She cultivates and holds a place of safety for all of my emotions and parts of myself to be experienced, and it is tangibly changing how I show up in the world. Her therapy is deeper than talk therapy- she infuses somatic practices and unique therapeutic modalities to help deeply process and move the trauma that may be stuck in our body. It is such a gift to work with her and I plan to continue working with her for months to come.

Vanessa is a calming and reassuring person who is great to have advocating for you on your healing journey. She’s extremely easy to talk to, respectful, and to the point.

Vanessa is incredible. I look forward to our time together every week. I find myself being calmer and more rational now that we've been working together for a few months. I've recommended her to friends because she's amazing. Very kind, intelligent and the best listener. My favorite thing is she MIYAGI's me and I don't even realize our therapy sessions are working until after it works! My life has changed so much since our work began.

I highly recommend Vanessa. She's an excellent therapist, and always provides me with gentle and compassionate support. Even if I'm feeling introverted and drained before a session, I end up leaving in a great mood. She's super easy to talk to, genuine, and down to earth.
