About the Therapist
Hi! I'm Vanessa Turcios, a bilingual therapist and founder of SimplyHer Counseling Services.
As a first-generation Latina, therapist, and former nurse and educator, I know what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of expectations—trying to succeed, show up for everyone else, and hold it all together even when you feel overwhelmed inside.
I started SimplyHer Counseling Services as a space for women, young adults, students, and folks from diverse cultural backgrounds, especially the Latino/Hispanic community, who are ready to care for their mental and emotional health. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore who you are, set boundaries, move through life changes, and reconnect with your most authentic self.
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself anymore. Together, we’ll work on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and supported in your journey.
My Approach
My approach is heart‑centered, culturally sensitive, and practical. I create a safe, judgment‑free space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I bring in real‑life coping skills, mindfulness, reflection, and personal empowerment work to help you not just “talk about it,” but actually create lasting change. I know there’s still a lot of stigma around mental health, and starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. That’s okay. I’ll meet you right where you are.
