What People Are Saying

“As a white woman I know I hold bias. This workshop has helped me begin to feel safe around first acknowledging and seeing that conscious and unconscious bias and then to begin working with it so that I can be more proactive in my life and career around not perpetrating it.”

— Lorri Ballard, LPCC

“It is so nice to go to a training, enjoy it, and get something out of it. We have to meet these CEU requirements and it is such a plus to feel it was time well spent and also to take away knowledge that I know I can and will use moving forward. I am so glad this is being offered in our community.”

— Mary Lynn Griffin, LPCC

“Vanya’s spirit and passion shine through as she helped each of us consider new information and our own experiences. Our whole class felt comfortable to think aloud or ask questions in a genuine way. That’s not an easy feat and it was a fun valuable experience. I highly recommend her classes.”

— Rachelle Mechenbier, MA, LPCC, SEP

“Vanya skillfully takes us to places that scare us, and the places that ask us to be our best selves. What an opportunity to train with an experienced BIPOC trainer and trauma specialist.”

— Ivy Anna Rizzo, LPCC

“So eye opening about things I never thought about, how I have believed I saw things, perceived things.”

— Traci Krischik, CPSW

“What I experienced as you welcoming of all that is, without judgement and your own openness and vulnerability.”

— France Sarradon, MA, LPCC, LMFTP
