Congratulations! You've just taken an important step in the journey to improved mental wellbeing, and self understanding. I am excited to be your guide as you begin this process of self-reflection, and working toward your goals. I view therapy as highly collaborative, with the client being the expert on their lived experience, and the therapist as a guiding, anchoring presence in the process of self exploration. I have experience in a variety of settings within and outside of the US, with clients of various nationalities and cultural backgrounds.

When was the last time you did something for yourself? How do you take care of yourself? If you cant think of that last time, you've come to the right place. Balance is something that we all need and sometimes feels unattainable. If you are looking for balance in your relationship, career, or just for yourself, you can be proud that you are taking the first steps in finding it. Together we can create joy in your life and make those mountainous tasks that you're facing more manageable.

What I bring to you as a therapist is… a calm nature, active listening, a nonjudgmental attitude, and a supportive relationship. As a therapist I understand that this is your journey, and I am here to be your sounding board. My goal is to foster effective self-reflection which will lead to finding personal tools to achieve your goals. Coming from a multi-cultural background it has allowed me to see things in all different lights and spaces. It has allowed me to observe and be present in ways not many people get to experience.

One of the pillars of a fulfilling life is the ability to be our authentic selves. Sometimes obstacles, hardships, and missteps cause us to forgo authenticity to survive. As a result, we may feel stuck, lost, or alone in our struggles. As a therapist, I see myself as a partner to my clients in their journey toward healing and growth. My approach is holistic - I consider the whole person and their context in everything I do, and I work collaboratively to ensure that each session feels personalized and effective. I provide a safe space to process where you are and begin to make progress toward where you'd like to be.

Greetings! I am Dr. Ebony S. Vinson, a licensed clinical psychologist in Florida and Virginia. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky. To bolster my experience with interventions that could benefit mental and physical health, I completed a Clinical Health Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University. I have worked in a wide range of clinical settings including community mental health clinics, women’s federal prisons, an academic health center, a VA outpatient clinic, and a group practice co-located in a large Ob-Gyn clinic.

Have you struggled to feel safe, seen, and heard with a mental health professional? Have you ever felt not good enough despite your achievements? Or felt like you are an imposter—that you are just fooling people? Ever feel tired and unmotivated but unable to turn off your thoughts? Let me help. Healing outcomes for my clients have included: freeing themselves from their inner critic, increasing their self-trust and confidence, increasing their "response-ability" -- ability to feel and respond (not react) to their life, enlarging their capacity to self-nurture, increasing resilience & discovering passion/meaning in their lives.

I work from an integrative, person-centered approach, and believe that the client is the expert on their life. I help you develop a toolbox of skills, positive affirmations, and action steps that you can use outside of therapy. My style is collaborative, straightforward, solution-focused, informal, and affirming.

From the outside, you seem to have it all. You are highly accomplished, driven, and reliable. You have what others call a “successful life,” but the truth is you don’t feel the same on the inside. You always worry about the worst things that can happen. Your thoughts deplete & deprive you of joy. You try to keep it all together, but despite your best efforts, thoughts leave you feeling exhausted, unable to focus, and unmotivated and snap at the people you love. You have given so much to everyone, and your needs always come last. Not anymore. You are finally ready to go from merely existing to flourishing.

Congratulations to you on taking the first and one of the most important steps in seeking a better life! You will no longer have to struggle or figure it all out on your own. I take pride in offering my clients a safe, judgement-free, and relatable environment to discuss any and all of life's struggles. I openly assert that I love what I do and you will be able to see that in our work together. Through my own lived experience and what I have learned as a therapist, I have developed the unique ability to not just understand hardships, but also to overcome them. I choose to guide others with this knowledge and experience.
