Nice to meet you! My name is Desseray Vega, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.
I primarily utilize a person-centered approach, believing that each individual is the expert on their own life. I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based techniques to help you build on your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident in creating the life you want.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing and wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
