Hi there 🙋🏻‍♀️ My name is Vanessa Busico, I’m a married mama of 2. I used to practice as a mental health/family therapist. Now, I’m home for my children. I am itching to practice again, but not talking therapy. I am determined to target root causes for mental health issues for women, especially Christian women. I used to work with diverse communities, such as Spanish speaking and deaf communities. I would say that a fun fact for me is that I am still a book worm 📚 and I’m running out of space for my books 😅 I look forward to meeting everyone here ♥️
