Helena Vaughan

I am a clinical therapist dedicated to working with young adults and adults navigating experiences such as anxiety, self-criticism, mood shifts and disorders, emotional regulation, grief, relational and identity issues, interpersonal stress, and a range of related concerns. Together, we strengthen boundaries, deepen connection, and develop greater self-compassion. I utilize a strengths-based approach to work toward growth that feels aligned with your values and sustainable over time. I welcome the opportunity to work together, guiding you with a thoughtful and attuned style that balances reflection and practical guidance. Meaningful change begins with understanding patterns and building a stronger sense of empowerment in how you respond and move forward. That’s why my approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, focused on meeting you exactly where you’re at while remaining open and curious at all times. My path toward therapy was shaped by navigating mental health challenges in my own life, and strengthened through years of hospital-based and community mental health care. Working closely with patients and families strengthened my respect for the complexity of this process and reinforced my commitment to grounded, compassionate support. **Specialties:** Are you encountering trauma or mental health challenges for the first time, whether personally or with someone close to you? Do you want to better understand your patterns, feel more grounded, and develop more secure ways of relating to yourself and others? If so, I am here to help you heal.
