Vanessa Buttery

I’m Vanessa Buttery, a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska, with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through the real, everyday challenges of life. My work is guided by the belief that care should feel human. Steady, compassionate, and tailored to you, not a checklist or script.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of walking with people through seasons of change, stress, grief, and growth. I value creating a space where you can set down what feels heavy and begin to see new ways forward. Clients often describe our work together as grounding and restorative: a place where they can breathe a little easier and feel truly understood.
At Eloura Therapy, my focus is on whole-person health, considering both the mind and the body as deeply connected. I meet you where you are, with care that honors your story and supports the life you want to grow into.

“Vanessa is deeply passionate about her work as a therapist, and it truly shows in every area of her life. She is always learning, growing, and finding new, effective ways to better support her clients. What stands out most about Vanessa is her dedication to personal growth—she invests in herself so she can pour even more into the people she serves. Self-care and mental wellbeing are non-negotiables for her, and that commitment shines through in the way she shows up—grounded, compassionate, and fully present for her clients.”

“I had the pleasure of supervising Vanessa during the early stages of her career. I recommend her without reservation as she is genuinely invested in her client’s growth and wellbeing. Individuals that I have referred to her have reached out to thank me personally, describing her as insightful, caring, and transformative in their therapeutic journey.   She brings a deep compassion and authenticity to her work that is not always seen in today’s professional world.”
