Jupiter Vaughan
Jupiter is welcoming, accepting and works with a lot of clients from the LGBTQ+ community. Before becoming a therapist, many of his friends went to him with their troubles. He found that he liked talking to people, it didn't feel like work, which led him to become a therapist. He grew up in a very progressive family and the first wedding he went to was for a lesbian couple. A big part of Jupiter's practice is holding space for his clients and letting them know that they are normal and healthy.

Areas of Focus
- People with relationship issues, including with themselves.
- People with challenging family members or work environments.
- Teens and young adults.
- People who struggle to feel that they are enough, often in their 30's or 40's.
- LGBTQ+
- You are feeling worried, sad, or frustrated, but you don't know what to do with those feelings or feel that you shouldn't have them at all
- You find the idea of stereotypical therapy intimidating, formulaic, or unappealing
- You would like to talk to a neutral professional about what is going on in your life, without expectations or judgement
- You want to feel that you are speaking with a fellow human being, rather than being spoken down to by an "expert" from some lofty perch of moral or intellectual enlightenment.
Therapeutic Frameworks & Approach
- That you are the best judge of what is the most relevant therapy topic to delve into first, and I will always be honest with you if I have a differing idea or hypothesis as we work towards that goal.
- Surprised by the other feelings which could be hidden behind the exhausted, fearful, or angry ones which lead you to seek therapy to begin with.
- That you might gradually start to have feelings of warmth and acceptance towards yourself, as you see it directed towards you in sessions.
- That beliefs you had about yourself or your behaviours are much more malleable than they originally seemed.
- Changes over time in the way you feel day to day, and how others around you observe you as well.
- More confident, comfortable, and even proud of the person you are - and everything you have gone through to become that person.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
