About
My name is Dr. Vanessa Ma, and I graduated from Palo Alto University and Columbia University. I have over a decade of experience in using evidence-based treatments to match patient needs. I practiced in many settings, such as outpatient community clinics, colleges, Veterans Administration, and inpatient psychiatric and forensic hospitals with all age ranges. My research explores trauma and resilience, coping among immigrant survivors of torture, prolonged grief, geriatric functioning, and the effects of the foster care system.
