Getting to know Ken Vehec
Doctor Vehec is a counseling psychologist specializing in Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. He earned his PhD in Counseling Psychology from Barry University, studying neuroscience under neuropsychologist Dr. Eugene Tootle. For fifteen years, Dr. Vehec served as a therapist in the Veterans Administration’s Vet Center program and was one of the first qualified second-level screeners for the James A. Haley VA Hospital Poly-trauma Unit—one of only four in the country—gaining invaluable experience with severely neurologically traumatized veterans.
Dr. Vehec also chaired the Board for a Charter School specializing in Specific Learning Disabled children in grades K-8. He championed brain-based learning programs such as Brain Gym®, Audio Visual Entrainment, and the Interactive Metronome® program. These initiatives helped students understand how they learned and assimilated information, enabling their successful return to the public school mainstream. He is a member of the American Counseling Association, the Florida Mental Health Counseling Association, and the Milton Erickson Foundation. Additionally, Dr. Vehec was an adjunct professor of psychology at the University of Central Florida from 2001 to 2016.
In his Sports and Entertainment psychology practice, Dr. Vehec served as the team psychologist for the Orlando Predators and the Kansas City Phantoms, professional Arena Football teams. He provided coaching staff and players with brain-based learning exercises to improve balance and enhance physical and mental performance, and developed treatment plans for post-concussion recovery. Dr. Vehec also works with PGA professionals, including one who was a contestant on “The Big Break” and continues on the professional tour. He is a consultant for the NFLPA of Central Florida and co-organized the first neurological symposium for NFL and NFLPA players before the Pro Bowl.
What should a new client know about working with you?
"Hello, I am Dr. Ken,
Are you suffering from a loss or a traumatic event? Have the events become too invasive in your daily life? Has it affected your school, work and/or social life? Do you no longer enjoy the things you used to look forward to doing: parties, birthdays, holidays and even relationships? Do your family and friends miss you? More importantly, do you miss you?
I have made it my practice to help people find their way through the trauma that weighs them down, keeping them from moving forward. We work through anxiety, fear, hypersensitivity and nightmares which can occur after a traumatic experience.
As trauma and reactions to a traumatic event are as varied as the individuals who experience it, I have an extensive toolbox to use for the benefit of my clients. One size does not fit all. We will work together to discover the best ways to help you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
