Vanessa Iaffa, LCSW, MSEd

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy to clients from adolescence through adulthood, as well as couples, throughout New York. I am a native Spanish speaker.

My approach is person-centered, relational, and trauma-informed. My style is warm, engaged, thoughtful, and direct when helpful. I aim to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and able to explore both current concerns and the experiences that have shaped them.

Emotional well-being does not exist in isolation. Culture, immigration, discrimination, financial stress, family systems, and access to resources can all influence how we experience ourselves and the world.

My clinical background includes extensive work with teens, young adults, immigrant communities, complex trauma, and family and relationship concerns.

There is no single formula for therapy. Treatment is individualized for the person or couple in front of me.
