Hi, my name is Vanessa Esgro.
Welcome! I applaud you for taking the first step in finding a therapist that is the right fit for you. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story, and I am here to help.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in substance use and mental health concerns. I graduated from Immaculata University in Malvern, PA, receiving my master’s degree in psychology and a certificate in addiction studies.
I have extensive experience working with the co-occurring population in a variety of contexts. I incorporate many treatment modalities, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered approaches.
I am trained in CBT and Motivational Interviewing techniques and utilize some DBT-based modalities.
I strongly believe we possess what we need to live a happy and fulfilling life. I see my role as a guide to help you; you are not alone. We live in a world that is often overwhelming. I believe therapy can be a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and respected.
The overall goal of therapy is to increase self-understanding, resulting in feelings of empowerment, courage, self-determination, hope, purpose, and freedom. I look forward to helping individuals willing to be open and put in the effort and trust to allow changes to occur. By utilizing your internal resources, you can be the person you want to be and live the life you choose.

The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
