Getting to know Kristina Vaughan

Hi there, I'm Kristina! I am an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) in Texas with a Master’s in Social Work from the Graduate School of Social Work (GCSW). My practice focuses on helping you get to the root cause of your issues so that you can live a healthier, more fulfilling life. **My approach** I use an eclectic approach to address what you want to prioritize for the session. Some of my training includes CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, and ACT. **My focus** I mainly work with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, ADHD in adults, and self-esteem issues. My specialty is childhood trauma. **My communication style** I'm direct with feedback while also validating you and your experience. **My journey to mental healthcare** I've always loved helping people in different capacities, which is why I studied social work. I was first a geriatric social worker, which I loved very much. I noticed that my social work clients tended to open up to me, which helped me transition to therapy. What drives me is seeing clients overcome challenges they never thought they would! **My goals for you** I am client-centered, allowing my clients to set their own goals for therapy. I can also suggest goals based on your current symptoms and struggles. **My first session with you** In the first session, I will gather bio-psychosocial information from you and review your assessment measures. At the end of the session, we will talk about how to prioritize your goals.
