More about Venezah
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a huge proponent of mental wellness for individuals and families, and strongly believe that access to quality mental healthcare is a human right. I am deeply passionate about decreasing stigma around and increasing access to mental healthcare, especially for BIPOC individuals and communities.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience providing therapy for children, adolescents, young adults (ages 18-26), adults, and families through a relational, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach. I have experience working with trauma, stress, depression/anxiety, foster care/adoption, spirituality/faith, life stress, and behavior challenges at home/school.
I so look forward to connecting with you and supporting you with addressing the current stressors impacting your life. My goal is to partner with you in developing a path toward healing that most aligns with your personality, strengths, and cultural background. I will always do my absolute best to show grace, compassion, and kindness whenever we meet.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
