Vance Pryor, PsyD, approaches therapy with a collaborative spirit, guiding clients to explore the underlying thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to stress. Through consistent effort in this exploration, individuals often find that unwanted habits lose their grip on their lives, allowing for the emergence of a profound sense of connectedness, resilience, flexibility, care, purpose, and wisdom. Vance works from a relational orientation, which includes examining how individuals relate to themselves, to others, to the world, and even to the therapy relationship. He believes in the power of mindfulness as a means of navigating difficult experiences. By practicing mindfulness—a skill he has honed for over 20 years—individuals can learn to engage with the present moment through an open, kind, and non-judgmental lens. Additionally, Vance facilitates mindfulness retreats across the country while actively practicing psychotherapy. He has a wealth of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, encompassing a range of issues related to ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation, and acculturation status. Each treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to honor the unique individuality of every client.
