Client Testimonials
Here’s what our clients said:
Working with Vanessa was honestly some of the best work I’ve ever done in therapy; however it never felt like work. Her modalities, knowledge, and gentle nature allows for so much transformation to happen in the room. Her ability to quickly hone in on what I was trying to express and then guide me to transform through Rapid Resolution Therapy and EMDR was incredible. I started to see changes in my life, my behavior, my relationships after the very first session. Truly grateful for her.

From a young age, I was curious about receiving therapy. I had an idea of it in my mind and sought it out once I felt I was experiencing a significant enough crisis. After trying two different therapists out and feeling dissatisfied, I thought therapy wasn’t for me. A lack of connection was not what I imagined therapy to be. I began to feel very discouraged about treatment, but then I found Vanessa. From our first contact in our consultation, I felt like she effectively listened to what I desired from therapy. Throughout our time together, she showed me that she valued what I was seeking and delivered it so gracefully. I felt stuck in my interactions with prior therapists and did not feel like I was receiving anything of value. Vanessa made me feel safe, understood, gently challenged me when necessary, provided comprehensible information to help me learn about my experiences, and equipped me with tangible tools to carry outside of our sessions. I am eternally thankful for our time together. I am honored to have experienced therapy the way I imagined; a safe space with a genuine being committed to empowering you on your journey.

I have seen many therapists and psychologists over the years and it always felt like more of a venting process. It never felt like I was really working on analyzing the recurring conflicts I had over time and doing real work on myself. Since I began working with Vanessa it has been a total game changer. Not only did I feel comfortable and trusting from the start, but I have managed to dig deep and see everything from a completely different perspective which has helped me learn and understand things differently. She has a great grasp on unraveling what is stalling me and I keep getting “Aha” moments of realization. It’s the first time I have ever tried RRT and EMDR and I can’t believe the progress I have made on the toughest habits I had formed over the years, like biting my nails. I thought it was a part of me that I’d never be able to kick off, but after treating with RRT, I was able to find the link that triggered it and now the unconscious urge is gone. She has helped me become a more confident person and helped me tackle insecurities that were affecting my daily life and work.

“I’m that guy who thought I never needed therapy. My family pushed me to see a therapist because I was so self-absorbed and clueless about how I was affecting people. Vanessa has helped me beyond what I could have imagined. It started out as talking and moved into unlocking things rooted deep in my subconscious and making fundamental changes on that level. If you carried around a fifty pound backpack your whole life and didn’t realize it, you wouldn’t know the relief of taking it off until you actually took it off. That’s what working with Vanessa has been like.”

Vanessa is wonderful! She taught me how to cope with anxiety and depression. I continue to practice accessing the different feelings of love, particularly self-love, that I learned in her group therapy class. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that needs guidance and is ready to do the work that she’s equipped to support you through!

Los Angeles, CA
I have always felt scared to open up but with Ms. Palomera I felt safe right away. Every time I let her know what problems I was having she immediately wanted to work on it. I’ve had past experiences where therapist would say we’d work on it but instead just ask what’s new in the next session.
She’s an extremely great listener who truly cares about her patients.
I will forever be grateful for the tools she has given me.
Highly recommend her! She’s truly a gem in the mental health community.
