Vanessa Bright, LP
Psychoanalyst

I bring in a full toolbox into the work, and use whatever tools feel appropriate to both of us:
- Symbolic understanding of your journey and your unconscious issues
- Archetype cards for deepening understanding
- Essential oil practice to release emotional patterns
- Journaling prompts for you to take home and reflect
- Shamanic understanding of your journeys, your dreams, and your daily encounters
The process of self-discovery is a long and complex one for anyone, as it should be! I've trained in acupuncture/Chinese Medicine, Psychoanalysis, Jungian therapy, Dream work, Energy Medicine, Shamanism, and all kinds of spiritual courses that are too many to list. I love learning and I love teaching.
I've experienced profound pain and grief in my life, I've had many losses, I've been depressed, and I've been humbled by the human condition. I used to fear "drugs" until I finally decided to try cannabis for the first time -- which actually turned out to be a sacred, deep journey that I cherish to this day. This opened up the world of medicinal plants for me in the most beautiful way.
So later, when things became stagnant and painful for me yet again, even despite all this learning, I went to learn from plants. Sitting with Ayahuasca, Huachuma (San Pedro), and mushrooms (over the course of several months) was a profound catalyst for me in more ways than I can express -- and I have a passion for helping people go deeply with their experiences.
