Krishae Vinson

Welcome! I'm Krishae Vinson, psychotherapist and licensed clinicial social worker. I don't just understand mental health challenges from textbooks—I know them from lived experience. As an Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Veteran, a Mother, and a proud member of the Samoan and African-American communities, I bring a rich tapestry of life experiences to our sessions.

Having walked through my own therapeutic healing, I know firsthand the courage it takes to confront trauma, manage anxiety, and overcome depression. I create a safe, empathic, and collaborative environment that allows you to slow down to identify barriers to you accomplishing your goals for therapy. With over 8 years in the mental health field, I work collaboratively with clients to overcome barriers that keep them from thriving in life.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each person's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapy.

Our first session together will be an opportunity for you to share what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope to get out of therapy. We'll discuss barriers that get in the way of you living a life that is aligned with your values. I'll ask you several questions during the initial intake appointment that look at various aspects of your life in order to get a holistic understanding of the interconnected factors that are impacting your current wellbeing. Throughout the process, if there's a question I ask and you don't feel comfortable answering, you don't have to. I respect your autonomy and will collaboratively work with you to identify a pace that feels right to ensure emotional safety throughout our time together.
