Meet Vanya Garabedian, LCSW

Only when we tell our stories can there be real healing.
— Zainab Salbi

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I bring over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, earning my Master’s degree in 2012. My work is rooted in a multicultural perspective shaped by my experience as an Armenian American woman navigating a multicultural identity. I’m committed to supporting others as they explore and embrace their racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, and gender identities.

As a supervisor and mentor, I’m passionate about creating engaging workshops and trainings for therapists and other professionals, offering topics like Trauma-Informed Care, Cultural Humility, Ethics, and Supervision. These can be customized for organizations and businesses.

In my clinical practice, I integrate Brainspotting, DBT, and EMDR, with a special focus on Brainspotting as a certified practitioner. My approach supports clients on their healing journeys, especially those impacted by trauma and addiction. While I don’t work with individuals in active addiction, I also support loved ones navigating these challenges.

If this resonates, feel free to reach out for a brief consultation. Please note I often have a waitlist; for immediate support, visit https://www.psychologytoday.com to find a therapist in your area.

Whether we connect or not, I wish you the best on your journey of healing and self-discovery!
