LCSW, 20 years of experience
I am excited to spend this time with you during your time of need. I believe therapy is a great tool to help you work through some of the difficulties that you face. I am a firm believer that once you have some good tools in place you will find yourself capable of handling anything life throws your way. I only will serve evening and some weekend hours.
The goal is to understand what is going with you, how you want to handle the problem, and for you to ask questions of me to determine if we are a good fit for one another. The first session to ask and answer questions and to understand what you want out therapy.
I am solution focused therapist, meaning I believe that we all have strengths that we can tap into to change our situations around. I believe in short term therapy to explore change and create a healthier space in our lives.
My ideal client is someone who views themselves as a usual very capable, confident, and loves life. However, sometimes we are put in a position that makes it hard to understand to come back from and we would like to get centered to our "old selves." I want to be part of the journey to get you back to what you believe is your real self or maybe even in a better position.
Janet Vaughn offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
The goal of therapy is to determine the problem and utilize techniques that would be helpful to overcome the problem and create a consistent change in your situation.
The goal of this treatment method is to understand your foundation and how that foundation may be the reason you have a hard time overcoming the situation you are in and what things can be put in place to utilize that foundation as a strength vs a weakness.
