Vanessa Correia, PT ,DPT

Vanessa earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey. Prior to pursuing her DPT, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Catonsville, Maryland. Throughout her undergraduate career, she worked as a physical therapy aide which sparked her interest in the field as she witnessed how positive an impact physical therapy can have on an individual’s quality of life. 

In her doctorate program, Vanessa completed clinical rotations in a variety of settings, gaining experience treating patients with orthopedic injuries in patients of all ages, athletes, patients with acute and chronic neurological conditions, and patients with cardiac and pulmonary conditions. Vanessa is passionate about creating a collaborative, compassionate, and inclusive environment where she can work together with her patients to help them achieve their physical therapy goals. It is extremely important to her that every patient feels supported, respected, and comfortable expressing themselves every time they come to PT. 

Despite loving her home state of Maryland, Vanessa has greatly enjoyed her time living across the river from New York City, taking advantage of the proximity to explore all the fun activities and delicious food the city has to offer. She also enjoys running, spending time with her loved ones (including her pet bunny named Henry), reading, spending time in nature, and cooking.
