Psychologist

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Vanessa Guevara

Vanessa Guevara

Therapist

Virtual • Idaho


The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of being human. My passion is to help individuals express, embrace, and empower their whole selves. Through trauma work, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear, and struggle. This helps us reclaim our power and build resilience. This doesn't justify the pain or trauma, but I wholeheartedly believe that the root of our pain is also the source of where our healing begins.

My approach is direct and encouraging. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), and Nutrition Specialist (CMHNS), I am devoted to therapy that explores how trauma shapes the nervous system and influences our mindset, beliefs, and emotional responses. Through continued education in neuroscience and integrative health, I can help you understand the elements of the mind, body, and self. This way, we learn about the unique makeup of your whole self and how these elements manifest in your life. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported individuals navigating complex trauma, including:

  • chronic stress, insomnia, and health concerns
  • Neurodiversity including head injuries, TBI, ADHD, and ASD
  • burnout, people pleasing, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and work-life balance
  • emotional, physical, and sexual abuse
  • codependency and attachment trauma
  • religious, cultural, and generational trauma
  • grief, loss, and bereavement

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Idaho

Searching for therapists in Idaho starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look closely at specialties before booking. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed focus areas, approach, and experience to see whether they match your needs.

Location and format can also shape your search. You may find in-person therapists near Boise, Idaho Falls, or Coeur d’Alene, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Idaho if local availability is limited. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.

The cost of mental health care in Idaho varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who take your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from therapists accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
