Ms Vanessa Guidry

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

I am an experienced therapist specializing in working with children (ages 3 and up), teens, young adults, and families.

About Me

I am an experienced therapist, dedicated to supporting children (ages 3+), teens, young adults, and their families. I create a collaborative space where each individual, whatever their age, can explore their unique experiences. We work together to navigate challenges, strengthen family connections, and foster resilience. My aim is to help you find clear paths forward, building understanding and growth for everyone.

Approach

We start by turning curiosity into practical steps, gently mapping what’s happening at home, school, or within relationships so each person feels seen and understood. In my Houston office, speaking English, sessions move at a pace that fits the child, teen, young adult, or family in the room—sometimes creative play or drawing for younger children, sometimes structured check-ins and skill practice for teens and caregivers, with clear feedback between meetings. Folks who want collaborative, steady work to untangle stress, grief, or trauma often find this approach helpful.
