Hi! I'm Vanessa Turcios, a bilingual therapist and founder of SimplyHer Counseling Services.

As a first-generation Latina, therapist, and experience as a nurse and educator, I know what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of expectations, trying to succeed, show up for everyone else, and hold it all together even when you feel overwhelmed inside.

I created SimplyHer Counseling Services as a space for women, young adults, students, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, especially the Latino/Hispanic community, who are ready to take care of their mental and emotional well-being. My mission is to offer a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore your identity, set boundaries, process life transitions, and reconnect with your most authentic self.

You're not alone and you don’t have to do this all by yourself anymore. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and supported in your journey.
