Joanne Vanderveen, LMSW, RSW, ADHD-CCSP

Do you feel anxious, sad, or stressed out from trying to navigate life on your own? Are you feeling misunderstood in your relationships, disconnected from loved ones, or stuck in patterns you feel powerless to change? Are you questioning aspects of your identity, striving to find a purpose, or deconstructing from beliefs that cause you internal conflict?  If so, you have come to the right place.

I believe that no question is inappropriate to ask, no issue is too challenging to face, and that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I believe in creating an open and safe environment so that thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment or shame. My counseling style is collaborative, warm, respectful, empathic, and engaging. I am a good listener, and my goal is to help you make sense of your circumstances through life-giving conversations, life-altering revelations, and emotional connections. I utilize a wide variety of approaches depending on your needs, and I apply a client-centered approach.
