Sierra Vaughan

My communication style

I am warm, direct, and very human in the way I communicate. I will listen closely and give you space to work through things, but I will also ask questions, point out patterns, challenge you when it is helpful, and be honest with you. Therapy with me is conversational, not cold or overly formal.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work because I have always been interested in the stories people carry, the relationships that shape them, and why we sometimes repeat patterns even when we desperately want to do something differently. Becoming a therapist gave me a way to help people understand themselves with more clarity, compassion, and choice.

My goals for you

We start by getting clear on what you actually want to be different, not just what you think you are supposed to work on. From there, we look at what keeps getting in the way and build realistic ways to practice change both inside and outside of session. Goals can shift as we learn more about you, and that is completely okay.

Our first session

The first session is mostly about helping me understand you, what brought you in, and what you hope will feel different. You do not have to arrive knowing exactly what to say or where to start. We will talk through what has been going on, what feels most important, and what you want therapy to look like moving forward.
