About Me

Dr. Aimee Vaughn, LPCC-S

I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and am a licensed clinical counselor in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, including Fort Campbell Military Installation.  I am trained in counseling, performance enhancement/ performance psychology, health and wellness, and leadership development. I currently serve as the clinical oversight for a local first responder department’s Behavioral Health and Wellness Program.

I treat many issues, but my specialty is in complex trauma. I am trained in EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, the top trauma interventions. However, no matter the issue, I want to get you some relief as soon as possible. This means that while I do use coping skills, I am going to help you get to the root of the issue for long term improvement.

Counseling requires a deep level of trust and that is why I think it is as important for me as a therapist to be authentically myself in the same way I ask you to be. You will work with a person who keeps it real, has a sense of humor, and is truly passionate about helping.  I will unconditionally accept and support you while challenging you to do things that are hard because your goals and success are important to me.

MORE THAN COUNSELING

I currently provide in person and synchronous online training that is customized to the requesting department. I also provide online consultation to peer support individuals and teams, along with therapists who work with, or would like to work with military or first responders.

Most people want to help their peers but hold back because they’re afraid of saying the wrong thing. This manual removes the guesswork. It’s a practical, “how-to” guide designed to transform that hesitation into confidence.
