Matt Vaughn, LPC, MA, CIRT

I have been  in the psychology field ,  offering  individual, family and group psychotherapy as well as coaching since 2001. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, & adults . My style is grounded in person-centered therapy but is also informed by CBT, psychodynamic, & transpersonal approaches. I approach psychotherapy in very down to earth manner, despite my theoretical grounding. I  like to use humor because I truly believe: "if you're laughing, you're learning." I have no doubt that I will be able to help you through your current struggles & I look forward to working with you.

Background and Experience  
  My specific areas of professional experience  are psychiatric and addiction hospitals.  Within these environments, I have worked with individuals and families struggling with a range of psychiatric and addiction issues.
I also have extensive experience practicing with individual, couples, and family therapy in my private practice,   particularly   with young people who are often viewed as 'different' than their peers.  
​
Online Practice
​
I have provided telehealth therapeutic services throughout my entire career and I switched to an entirely online practice in 2017.  I notably have experience with cross-cultural issues, expat adaptation, homesickness and intercultural mobility which telehealth is uniquely suited to address.     Overall,   I believe that providing therapy online is the future of mental health services and I am a  firm believer in its efficacy.
