Vanessa Stewart, MA, LMHCA

Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
(206) 388-3929 vanessaf@seattlechristiancounseling.com

As your counselor, I will actively listen to your concerns and take the time to understand what you are experiencing. With unconditional love and support, I will meet you where you are and work with you to develop individualized goals and strategies based on your unique aspirations. My desire is for you to see yourself the way God sees you and experience the hope that comes from His grace and mercy. As a Christian therapist, my counseling approach incorporates better understanding what the Bible says in addition to psychological interventions that will help each individual experience healing in their lives.
