Vanessa Richards, LPC
Psicoterapeuta Bilingue
I am a psychotherapist with 18 years of experience helping children, adults, and families heal and rediscover their inner strength.
From a young age, I knew that psychology was my calling. Supporting people as they overcome emotional wounds and watching them flourish in their lives is what inspires me every day.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State College of Denver and a Master’s in Clinical Psychotherapy with an emphasis in Family Therapy from the University of Northern Colorado. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to learning and growing so I can offer effective, compassionate, and transformative therapy.
Along the way, I discovered EMDR therapy and IFS therapy, two profoundly healing approaches that are now at the heart of my work. With these methods, I help clients process trauma, regulate their emotions, and reconnect with their resilience and sense of well-being.
I firmly believe there is always hope, and that everyone carries within them the power to heal and write a new story. I am here to walk alongside you on that journey.
