My name is Vanessa and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist based in Florida. I am the Owner and Clinical Director of Agapethy Counseling Solutions. We have 10+ years of extensive experience working in inpatient and outpatient care settings.
We work with adults as well as children 4-10 in our specialized playroom. We consult on best practices to raise thriving, self confident children ready for the real world. We treat infants- toddlers 0-3. We also love working with teens and young adults, assisting them with issues of identity and self worth.
I have been practicing for over 20 years providing Individual and family therapy. My focus is to facilitate strategies and interventions that will bring you hope and transformation.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that mental health is vital to creating a balanced life. I understand that change is difficult, and it is not easy to ask for help! I enjoy working with people aged 18 and over with a variety of challenges. I have specialized experience in depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, personality disorders, substance use and addictions.
I mainly support clients with integrating past traumas to liberate frozen energy and create space for it to move and take new form.
I work with adults 55 and older who are dealing with big life changes — illness, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply finding themselves in a chapter they didn’t plan for.
A lot of my clients come in because something has shifted. A diagnosis. A loss. The exhaustion of caring for someone else. Or that feeling of, “This isn’t the life I pictured.”
I’ve worked for many years alongside palliative care teams and with people living with serious illness. I understand how overwhelming medical decisions, uncertainty, and anticipatory grief can be.
I also know loss personally. My husband died after a battle with cancer, and rebuilding my own life changed how I sit with others. I don’t just understand this work professionally — I’ve lived parts of it.
Most of the people I see aren’t looking for years of therapy. They want a place to sort through what’s happening, get steadier, and figure out what comes next. We usually work together for a focused stretch — anywhere from a few sessions to a few months.
We meet by telehealth. It’s simple and private, and I’ll handle the logistics.
