Vanessa Levin

Hey there Mental Health Investigators, My name is Vanessa Ognawasomek Levin. I'm a
Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been working in the health and wellness field for
over two decades. I specialize in combining evidence based therapies with somatic
therapies. Some of these include: meditation, breathwork, qi gong, energy work, tapping,
yoga, nutrition, art and movement therapies, and Brainspotting. Brainspotting is both somatic
and an evidence based modality similar to EMDR for treating Trauma. Other evidence based
treatment modalities I use are: CBT, Narrative Therapy, Buddhist Psychology, Internal Family
Systems, Polyvagal, and Intuitive Eating. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Therapist so I work
with eating disorders and disordered eating.

I work with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions,
communication, pain management, sexuality, attachment, and spiritual discontent. The
demographic I work with is 18+ and Senior Citizens, and those with Native American
background working with Identity Issues.

I believe we have multiple ways that we disconnect and connect in our lives. They can feel
good. They can feel bad. These can look like disconnections or connections to our bodies,
minds, families, communities, and even our planet. It is our job to figure out where the
imbalances lay. We can work together to recircuit a part of the mind that continues
unwarranted habitual cycles, and retrain ourselves to see options that we may not have
been able to access before.

When not at work, I spend time with my Ko’asek Sovereign Nation Tribe of NH, forage in the
woods, paddleboard, book club, meditation groups, yoga, qi gong, and Powwows. I’m happy
to join you in your journey of Self Acceptance and Self Actualization. Let’s roll up our sleeves
and dig into the adventure.
