Welcome to my author page! My name is Vanessa O'Brien; I am a Licensed School Counselor grounded in existentialism with a master's degree in School Counseling. I believe we are able to contribute and live the most meaningfully when we imbed emotional awareness and wellness practices in our daily routines. I have prior experience working in the community as a Qualified Mental Health Professional, a Psychiatric Hospital Mental Health Worker, Social Worker, and United States Marine. The books I write include a social story and journal. The journals are designed to help children practice the skills in the books and are generally located in the last half of the books.
