Meet Your Therapist:
Faith + Credentials You Can Trust
Hi, I’m Dr. Vinnie Cappetta — Licensed Christian Counselor & Devoted Follower of Christ
For nearly 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult seasons—first as a pastoral counselor, and since 2008 as a licensed clinical therapist.
I understand how emotional pain can make you feel disconnected — from others, from God, and even from yourself. With extensive therapy practice and a heart rooted in faith, I will walk alongside you through anxiety, trauma, grief, and spiritual distress.
That’s why I offer only retreat-style, intensive spiritual counseling—focused, multi-hour or multi-day sessions designed to help you experience profound, lasting healing in a short amount of time. My practice blends biblical wisdom, prayer, and evidence-based methods like EMDR and trauma-informed care, so you can move from distress to God’s perfect peace quickly and deeply.
- Licensed Clinical Counselor (since 2008)
- Nearly 30 years of pastoral and counseling experience in spiritual support
- EMDR-Informed Practitioner
- Trauma and Grief Specialist
- Faith-Based Counseling Intensives (1–5 day format only)
If you’re ready for a transformative, focused healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover hope, clarity, and peace.
