Introduction

Colors of Austin Counseling CEO and Founder Vanessa Newton is on a mission to change the mental health landscape. A first generation Latina and Entrepreneur, Vanessa has worked in the field of social work for 10+ years, founding Colors of Austin Counseling (2018), the therapist coaching and support organization Brave & Well (2019) and the school-based mental health web tool SocialNote (2015). She has spent over a decade working with teens, survivors of trauma, LatinX women and communities of culture. She has worked as both a school social worker and a medical social worker at Dell Children's Medical Center and Children's Memorial Hermann in Houston, working in the Pediatric ICU with children and families dealing with chronic illnesses. Her training in EMDR and the curriculum of Brené Brown has helped transform the way clients heal. Vanessa believes in removing barriers of access to mental health treatment for all and finding ways to uplift future generations of therapists so that together we can decolonize the mental health space. Whether it be through the direct provision of mental health services, bolstering and helping grow the practices of younger therapists or creating tools that help support the work of her fellow practitioners, Vanessa is committed to fundamentally transforming how we think about, practice and experience mental health.
