Vanessa Egurrola-Tigwell, BA

Intern Therapist

If you are looking for a passionate therapist who can help you, your child, or your teen gain confidence, build self-esteem, change faulty thinking patterns, improve impulse control, and expand their emotional capacity, Vanessa may be the right fit. You’ll find her approach to be vibrant and confident yet soft, accepting and nonjudgmental. Vanessa Egurrola-Tigwell is a child and teen therapist completing her internship for her masters in clinical mental health counseling. She helps children, teens, and young adults address a wide range of mental health symptoms. She is skilled in helping children and teens develop problem-solving skills, increase emotional capacity, and develop effective communication strategies.
