Meet Breanna Vaughn, APSW
In our session, you will experience a safe, supportive, empathetic, and trusting environment to dig deep into your healing journey to find true progress and change. I will mindfully hold space for your emotions and experiences to create healing. My role as your therapist is a copilot who helps to guide you through and be a witness to your healing journey. I believe you are the expert in your story and have the power and expertise to create the changes you want to see in your life.

Meet the Team
Just like people, animals are unique. I am beyond proud to introduce these three animals who are there to support people through their growth. Each of our animals has their own strengths and personalities. I work alongside my clients to determine if and which animal would be able to best support them in their healing journey.
