LSW

Hello, I'm Vania Brister, and I've come to realize that this field found me, shaping my path in ways I couldn't have predicted. From childhood, I embraced my quiet nature, despite enduring teasing and shame for it. But through those experiences, I learned something invaluable: the power of listening.

Being a quiet observer taught me that great listening requires silence, and the ability to understand and support others became my superpower. It brought me joy to be a source of support for family, friends, and even strangers.

In my practice, I aim to create a safe haven where individuals and families can express themselves freely. I know firsthand how important it is to feel safe, heard, and validated, especially in a world that can feel unsafe for many.

I believe in building strong relationships with my clients, empowering them to drive their own treatment. After all, they are the experts of their own lives. As a social worker, I'm not just a listener; I'm also an advocate, using my voice to fight for others and ensure they feel valued and supported.

If you're searching for a therapist who values your unique experiences and perspectives, I invite you to take the journey towards healing with me.
