Vanessa Leveille is a licensed therapist specializing in supporting mothers of color through the transformative and developmental stage of becoming a mother, called Matrescence. With a focus on resilience, confidence, and self-discovery, she provides personalized clinical coaching to navigate the complexities of womanhood and motherhood.
Many of her clients seek guidance during the early years of motherhood, experiencing challenges such as managing mental load, struggling with default parenting, postnatal depletion, difficulty managing emotions and life changes since becoming a mother, and establishing a strong sense of self amidst their new role. They are ambitious women who feel uncertain about who they are now that they are a mother, and want to make intentional and impactful changes in their life.
Drawing from a holistic and integrative approach, Vanessa incorporates techniques from various modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. She creates a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, empowering them to cultivate self-awareness and make meaningful changes in their lives.
With advanced training in Matrescence and a deep understanding of the unique cultural and societal factors impacting mothers of color, Vanessa is committed to providing culturally competent and inclusive care. She values the importance of building strong therapeutic relationships and collaboratively tailors treatment plans to meet the individual needs of each client.
In addition to her clinical work, Vanessa is a sought-after speaker, business strategist for mothers, and creator of online programming aimed at supporting mothers of color on their journey through Matrescence. She offers remote therapy sessions for clients across Massachusetts and Texas and is available for consultations to discuss how she can best support them on their path to healing and self-discovery.
