Vanessa Lin McGraw, AMFT

I cherish supporting individuals and couples through pregnancy, postpartum, and into new parenthood. While these are vulnerable times, they can offer opportunities for deep healing and connection. I also provide dyadic play therapy for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers. As a mother of two, I know the delight and chaos of parenting little ones!

People who work with me say my calm presence puts them at ease. I am both gentle and direct. My approach focuses on early attachment and attending to mind, heart, and body through somatic methods. My clients expand their imaginations for change and are more present to joy in their lives. I value exploring how cultural and racial dynamics impact us and love working with people of color and multiracial families. As a person of faith, I am happy to incorporate spirituality into therapy based on interest.

I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#141456) supervised by Livia Ondi, LMFT. I completed training in perinatal mental health and infant-parent psychotherapy with the UCSF Infant-Parent Program at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. I earned my Masters in Counseling Psychology at the University of San Francisco.

I would love to connect with you over a complimentary consultation call.
