Veronica Vaupel

Veronica Vaupel, a highly skilled marriage and family therapist associate, takes a collaborative approach to therapy, guiding her clients towards achieving their personal goals. With a belief that clients possess the answers within themselves, she views therapy as a navigation system that helps them uncover their insights. Her treatment methodology is structured as an evolving process, understanding issues through a systemic lens that emphasizes racial and social equity. Veronica is dedicated to forming a strong therapeutic alliance which encourages self-determination, emotional expression, and action-oriented growth. She works effectively with children, families, couples, and adults. As a Level 1 Gottman-trained couples therapist, Veronica incorporates research-based interventions to enhance understanding, deepen emotional connections, and improve conflict management skills among couples. In her work with children, she draws inspiration from the child-centered play therapy practices of Garry L. Landreth and Virginia Axline. Additionally, her special interests include supporting first-generation college students, exploring human experience and well-being through Dr. Dan Siegel's research on interpersonal neurobiology, and employing a relational approach to addiction recovery and healing, based on the innovative work of Dr. Robert J. Navarra and Drs. John and Julie Gottman.
