Vanessa Trajano Youth and Adult Clinical practice

I’m qualified in the field of clinical psychology, having worked in hospitals, in the community and in private practice, responsible for clinical assessments of complex and severe client presentations as well as functional and acute conditions. My experience was based in short-term and long-term interventions/therapies, including as Senior Clinical Psychologist overseas.

As a clinician, I work to encompass the role of the family system and its impact on the person’s life in the evaluation and therapy plan. I’m highly attentive on the correlation between stressors and all the factors involved in the client’s health and mental health, including the complexities of coexisting conditions. 

I’ve worked with complex clinical conditions, including structural dissociation, severe, moderate and mild dissociative symptoms and disorders. I’m also interested in the dissociative symptoms that are trauma related and its effects on the psyche as a long-term complex condition.

Along with different clinical contexts, I had opportunity to work in the assessment and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders , trauma, complex trauma, post-traumatic symptoms and disorders (PTSD and CPTSD), psychotic disorders and episodes (schizophrenia, substance related), dissociative disorders (including DID), personality disorders, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), autism, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), selective mutism, bullying, self-injurious behaviours and suicidal ideation, cycle of domestic violence, addictions with and without co-existing disorders, complex grief, adjustment/anxiety related to retirement, immigration adjustment, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, attachment-based family interventions. All cases varied in age group and gender.
