Getting to know Ricky Vaughn
Life brings challenges, and you don’t have to face them alone. For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults from all walks of life who are navigating a wide variety of issues. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, the lasting impact of trauma, or simply feeling ‘stuck’ in a major life transition, my practice is a compassionate space where you can find clarity and lasting change. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and therapy is a collaborative process of uncovering the strengths and wisdom that are already within you. I utilize an integrative approach tailored to your unique needs, blending evidence-based modalities like Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
While I work effectively with all adults, a significant part of my practice and passion lies in my specialized expertise with certain communities and issues. I have dedicated my career to supporting the Queer community in navigating the complexities of living authentically, focusing on healing the wounds caused by shame, rejection, and religious trauma. I also specialize in working with couples (queer and otherwise) who are navigating relational changes, communication challenges, and building stronger intimacy, including expertise in exploring consensual/ethical non-monogamy (CNM/ENM). Furthermore, I have served the HIV community for over two decades, providing comprehensive care that addresses interconnected mental, sexual, and medical health needs. At the heart of my work is a simple but powerful philosophy: to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, reimagine your relationships, and rediscover your authentic self.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Together, we will create an individualized treatment plan that will allow us to work towards your goals. I can incorporate therapeutic techniques such as: Relational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology, Strength-Based, EMDR, and Rational Emotive Behavioral (REBT).
I am EMDR trained and can integrate that modality into trauma processing and talk therapy when appropriate. I specialize in HIV/AIDS, LGBTQIA+, Relationship Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Infidelity, Non-Monogamy/Polyamory/Kink, Stress, PTSD & Trauma.
