The Connection Clinic

The Connection Clinic is a vibrant collective of practitioners committed to providing safe, empowering care to individuals impacted by systemic and historical oppressions. We understand that many people experience misalignments in traditional mental health spaces, and we strive to create an environment where healing happens in community, fostering support, connection, and growth for both clients and providers.Our approach prioritizes decolonizing care and collaboration: therapists rarely work in isolation, ensuring that every client benefits from the combined perspectives and expertise of our team. We consult with one another, share recommendations, and coordinate care across family or community needs when appropriate. This collaborative model ensures that every client feels known, seen, and supported by The Connection Clinic, receiving the insight and care of a well-rounded team, something that truly sets us apart from other systems of care. If you are facing mental health challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we invite you to connect with us.

Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected—from your body, your emotions, and the life you want to live. You may know you’re safe now, yet still feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed in ways that don’t make sense. Therapy can be a place where this begins to change.
My work goes beyond talking, supporting your brain and nervous system in processing and releasing traumatic experiences at a deep level. I use EMDR and Brainspotting—powerful, trauma-informed approaches that help access the parts of the brain where trauma is stored—so healing can occur in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Equally important is the therapeutic relationship itself. I offer a compassionate, attuned space where your experience is met with care, respect, and pacing that honors your nervous system. Together, we work toward greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of freedom in your life.
If you’re considering trauma therapy and wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you, I invite you to reach out for a phone consultation.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Clients often comment on my intuition and presence with them. As a therapist who focuses on building authentic relationships, it is one of my strengths. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood. It is an honor to share my clients' experiences with them and go on this therapeutic journey together. Rooted in knowledge and experience, I support healing and growth while guiding clients toward a more whole and compassionate sense of self.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
