Vanessa Rail, LMHC, LPC

From a young age I was curious about what people were thinking and how they interacted with others. I was always a good listener and would be the person my friends felt most comfortable talking to because I would not judge them. It was not until many years later when working in the mental health field that I learned that our past experiences affect how we think about ourselves, others and our behaviors. I am very passionate about helping to bring this knowledge and insight to others to help them live their happiest healthiest life!

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Science from Concordia College in 2005. I continued my studies at Adelphi University where I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2009. I received my New York State License in Mental Health Counseling in 2011. To broaden my network I attained my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in New Jersey in 2024.

I have worked in many different settings including outpatient substance abuse treatment, The Center for Health and Wellness at Wagner College, and private practice. I enjoy working with many different populations but my current passion is working with adults ages 18-45. Working with this demographic has shown me how eager this population is about self-exploration, growth, and willingness to make the necessary changes to break generational trauma in order to find peace and fulfilling relationships.

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment so that you feel comfortable to share and explore. A part of therapy is talking about difficult things, but I pride myself on being authentic and humor is definitely a part of my process. Let me help you make those heavy things a little bit lighter!
