Vincent Espinoza, LCSW – Licensed Sex and Trauma Therapist
I am a private practice licensed clinician and therapist serving clients in the states of Colorado, Florida, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, and Virginia. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change for you. I look forward to working with you to addresses your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
Treatment Approach
I use a trauma-informed, sex-positive (sex+) approach to address each client’s unique needs. I strive to ensure that my clients always have therapeutic safety in our relationship. I develop and strengthen this safety over time using Person-Centered Therapy. Person-Centered Therapy focuses on providing my clients with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity in all of our interactions.
I am also extensively trained in evidence-based modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) Therapy, The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and the Flash Technique. All of these modalities are intended to help my clients regain safety and cultivate resilience in their nervous systems.
Additionally, I observe and support a growing body of research that champions the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
