Webinar Description:

In this 75-minute CEU session, we’ll explore practical strategies to recognize signs of compassion fatigue, strengthen boundaries, and build resilience so you can continue showing up for your students without losing yourself in the process. From one social worker to another, this is about finding ways to care while also sustaining your own well-being.

Vanessa Flores Newton, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, is the Owner and Founder of Colors of Austin Counseling in Austin, TX - a diverse, community-focused collective of therapists offering culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.

Vanessa has been in the field of Social Work for over 10 years now. As of lately, most of her work has been with women who are facing difficult life transitions and experiencing feelings of shame, low self-worth and loss of identity. It's been described to her as feeling trapped in one's own body.

In addition to providing therapy services, she is also the Owner and Founder of Brave and Well, a consulting business designed to empower mental health professionals with the tools and resources they need to build thriving private practices, and a Co-Founder of SocialNote with her husband, Brian Newton.

The services she provides are highly relational, honest and real. Her clients learn to sit in the dark in order to be able to see the light. Vanessa has a passion for working with adults, especially entrepreneurs and millennials, adolescents and women of color. The work she do with clients has helped her navigate some of the darkest times in her life, which is why she is devoted to sharing it with the world.
