Hello! My name is Vanessa B. Carter. Eighteen years ago, I began a journey of being present in the lives of people who needed a change. I was that presence to lend a listening ear. I started a new chapter in my life by completing a Master of Divinity degree from Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology. Then, I furthered my educational journey with a Master of Science in Counseling from Capella University.

Are you in your darkest hour because of debilitating thoughts? Are you suffering with the anguish of loss? Are you scared there might be no way out? Do you want nothing more than to be free of that pain? If so, I am in tune with how painful this journey can be.  What lifted me up and out of my pain were the helping hands and kind words of another person. Since that moment, I have devoted myself and my gifts to becoming that same helping hand for others. I used the help I received as a guide of the light I want to share wherever it may be needed.

Pain can touch the lives of all of us. Pain can make the healing process difficult. I have been gifted with the special skill of helping others through their pain and transitioning on to a better and happier life. I am here to walk with you through this journey of accepting and knowing there is a life full of happiness and joy. I am here to provide that listening ear and powerful counseling tools that will lead you to the other side of your pain. You will be able to experience a new life.

When I am not counseling, I am working in my in-home or outdoor garden, meditating, playing the piano or traveling with my husband. I am a Licensed Minister at my church and I also provide Pastoral Counseling.
