Speaking| Workshops| Keynotes

As someone who has attended workshops with dull presentations, endless text-filled slides, and engaging presenters, I understand the importance of a dynamic and personable speaker. You want a presentation that is not only educational, but also enjoyable and memorable. That’s where I come in!

 

My name is Vanessa De Jesus Guzman and I am a licensed professional counselor, speaker and educator with over two decades of experience in working with children, families, educators and other stakeholders. I specialize in topics related to mindfulness, mindset, mental health, parenting, social emotional learning and overall well-being. My presentations use theories and practical “real life” applications to keep both in-person and virtual audiences engaged and present.

 

With 20 years of experience working with children and families in various roles including certified teacher, school counselor, in-home clinician, group facilitator and licensed therapist, I have the expertise to break down mental health barriers for audiences in need of learning more around the topics of anxiety, perfectionism, transitions, identity issues and social skills. I have been featured on the Today Show, Univision, various K-12 public schools, colleges and universities, and panels for numerous organizations.

 

All of my presentations and workshops are designed to help participants LEARN though targeted education, GROW with tools for change and leave INSPIRED to immediately implement strategies. I tailor my presentations to meet the needs of my audience, ensuring that everyone receives practical and relevant information. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise with others and helping them make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
