Questions about payment
Fees are reviewed during the free consultation. If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, it helps to have your plan's name handy.
Work With Me
You can begin before you know exactly what to say.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, especially when you have been carrying something alone. A short note is enough to begin a direct, thoughtful conversation with Vanessa.
From Note to First Session
What happens after you send this
Step 1
Send a short note
Use the inquiry form to share what brings you here, the best way to reach you, and only the context that feels appropriate for an initial message. You do not need to explain your whole history or decide which service is right before you write.
Response timing can vary around weekends and holidays. If your need is urgent or you are concerned about immediate safety, do not wait for a reply from this form; use the crisis resources below.
Before You Reach Out
What to have ready
Nothing needs to be worked out in advance. These practical details simply help Vanessa answer your first questions and understand whether her current openings may fit.
Your rough availability
A general sense of the days or times that usually work is enough. Sessions are online, for clients located in Texas.
A few words about what is happening
You might name a loss, relationship concern, transition, symptom, or pattern that brought you here. It does not need to be complete or polished, and you do not need to decide whether therapy or coaching fits best.
Other Ways to Reach Vanessa
A direct conversation is welcome.
New Tide Therapy is currently accepting new clients.
Immediate Support
This form is not monitored for emergencies.
If you are in immediate danger or cannot stay safe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You do not need to wait for Vanessa or receive a reply from New Tide Therapy before using crisis support.
You are allowed to begin uncertain.
The first step does not require a finished story.
You may know exactly what kind of help you want, or only know that the way things have been is no longer sustainable. Either is enough. The free consultation is a place to ask direct questions, hear how Vanessa works, and notice whether the conversation feels grounded and respectful.
You will not be asked to make your experience neat for the form or persuade anyone that it matters. Begin with what feels possible today. The fuller story can unfold, at your pace, in a setting built to hold it.
