Introduction

Hi, I'm Vanessa Manes, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and founder of Strong Sense of Self Family Counseling. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties, especially those who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can't quite explain. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. Healing isn't about fixing you, it's about helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more aligned with your authentic self. I offer telehealth sessions throughout California and in-person sessions in San Diego.
