Vanessa Brill, LCSW

Vanessa Brill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who seeks to meet people where they are in their personal life’s journey, to provide a safe space in which they can experience an authentic therapeutic relationship that affirms that their voice and experience are meaningful. She is passionate about helping people recognize their self-worth and feel empowered to find healing from emotional injuries, recover from addiction, manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and/or trauma and navigate difficult life experiences such as grief and loss.

She provides psycho education and uses evidence-based interventions with respect, compassion, and empathy to guide clients through the therapeutic process so that they may find the coping skills and strategies to manage difficult emotions, cultivate healthy relationships, and potentially break maladaptive generational patterns.

She continues to further develop her knowledge and skills as a therapist through continuing education opportunities as well as collaboration with her amazing colleagues.

Vanessa serves as co-chair and member of the Parent Advisory Council for Arkansas Division of Children and Family Services Prevention and Reunification Unit and as a Parent Mentor for HELP, Healing Every Loving Parent, a support group for bio parents who are at risk of loosing custody of their children. Vanessa is a member of the Birth Parent Partnership and the Birth and Foster Parent Partnership.

Vanessa enjoys spending her free time with family and fur-baby, Thor. She and her husband enjoy working together on home improvement projects and traveling to Mountain Home to visit their oldest son, who works as an assistant band director, specializing in percussion, and who teaches music education. They also enjoy traveling to Fayetteville to visit their youngest son, who is working toward a dual degree in Master of Social Work and Law, but especially to watch him march on the Razorback drumline.
