About Me

Hello, my name is Vanessa Estrada Baron, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton.

I can be more family-based and consider all identities when conceptualizing any problems you may present. I also utilize a range of evidence-based therapies, including sand tray interventions, art therapy interventions,
mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy with an anti-racist and anti-oppressive approach. These approaches allow us to build a therapeutic connection and give us a roadmap in this therapy journey.

As we work together, there may be some wounds that are uncovered brought on by childhood trauma, intergenerational trauma, societal
injustices, or any other significant events that you’d be willing to explore. I hope to provide a safe space to process your feelings and would be honored to be a tool for you.
