Vitor Finatto

My communication style

I'm direct but gentle—straight talk with steady compassion. Expect everyday language, not jargon. I ask clear questions, reflect what I hear, and invite your feedback so the session stays a two-way street. Silence has its place, but you'll also notice practical brainstorming and occasional well-timed humor to keep hard topics bearable.

My journey to mental healthcare

Serving in the Army showed me that the heaviest gear isn't always on your back—it's the memories you carry home. I sharpened my skills helping adults juggle work, family, and cultural transitions, then deepened my trauma-informed approach listening to veterans from many eras.

My goals for you

Early on, we choose one or two changes that would make the biggest daily difference—maybe cutting panic episodes in half, sleeping through the night, or setting healthier boundaries. We break each goal into weekly steps you can practice, then review what helped and what didn't. If a strategy stalls, we reshape it together.

Our first session

Think of our first hour as an open, judgment-free conversation. After a quick review of confidentiality and the basics of working together, I invite you to share what's on your mind—what hurts, what helps, and what a better future might look like. I'll listen closely, ask clarifying questions, and jot down themes we can explore in coming sessions.
