Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
It is so hard to express the intense and personal work we do in a blurb, so I'll try but feel free to give me a call. I work with US & international clients and expats on resolving life concerns and mental distress . I have twenty years of experience working with people in a multitude of settings. My approach is flexible, person-centered and warm. I like to make therapeutic work accessible and real-yet still deep, even in tough situations. My background is in humanistic , experiential and psychodynamic approaches. It basically means I trust people to have a sense of inner direction and that our job is to find it by having them contact their deeper sense of self in the moment; and also remove the barriers our upbringing has brought us that gets in the way as we move forward.

Calm Blue Waters Counseling, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, BC-TMH, LCMHC, LPC
Living your life with anxiety and depression can seem overwhelming and hopeless. When your mind gets caught in a downward spiral of negative thoughts, overthinking and worry it can feel impossible to escape. It may have even started affecting your normal day to day life – in school, work, or even your relationships. The feelings of agitation, tension, worry, and guilt prohibit you from moving forward, accomplishing your goals, and being your best. Often times, you may wonder if you’ll ever be yourself again, or if this path of darkness is your new normal. I am also trained in treating adolescents and adults suffering from eating disorder and body image issues. I will work with you to help you get to where you want to be.

I’m different than most therapists out there. What makes therapy with me different?
Well in order to understand that, let me tell you the quick story of why I became a therapist.
After graduating from college, I felt lost. I bounced from job to job, but struggled to find my true passion in life. I was scared I would never find what I was supposed to do in life and this caused me intense anxiety.
I didn’t feel like myself.
My family and friends were really concerned about me because I stopped laughing all the time and instead I wanted to stay home and avoid people.
I kept trying to keep my thoughts positive, but I found that when working in a toxic work environment it was hard to keep my thoughts positive. Instead I would find myself checking my heart rate, having feelings like I want to pass out, and wanting to RUN to my car to get home ASAP. These emotions were exhausting and draining.
My mom was the one who told me that I really needed to go see a counselor to talk about what was going on with me, since I was constantly irritable and never happy.
I struggled with the idea of having to call to set up an appointment.
I thought to myself… “A therapist won’t understand me and she will just judge me!”
After struggling for a couple more weeks with complete misery, I could no longer live with so much anxiety anymore and I made the call to set up my initial appointment.
On my way to the appointment, I almost had a panic attack in the car. I was crying the whole way there so scared of what she might think or say.
Once I arrived, I sat in my car for a few minutes, but decided I needed to go into the office.
I was breathing so hard that I was afraid I was about to have a panic attack.
After checking in with the front desk, I had to get some water and sit down while trying to make myself relax.
Once I sat down in her office, she was the most genuine person I have ever met.
Therapy was nothing like I had expected.
She helped to make me feel accepted and to understand that my emotions are important. She helped me to understand that my emotions help to guide me in life, but when they become so intense they become ineffective.
The more I understood what emotions I was feeling such as sadness, upset, frustrated, angry, irritated, mad, resentful, and embarrassed, the more I realized there were so many things I didn’t know about MYSELF or really didn’t want to admit to myself.
I attended therapy weekly for several months and began to identifying that the job I was working was NOT what I wanted to do for a living AND not where my TRUE PASSION was in life.
I decided that I could no longer continue to live in this state of HIGH INTENSE ANXIETY. I knew that my mental health was first priority.
I found the experience to be the complete OPPOSITE of what I expected it to be. I expected judgement but instead she gave grace, compassion, and empathy. She helped to ask me questions which caused me to be real with myself in what I truly wanted from life – HAPPINESS, COMPASSION, PEACE, LAUGHTER, AND EMPATHY FOR OTHERS.
I realized that by going to counseling personally, I wanted to become a counselor so that I could help others in their personal struggles and for them to know someone is there to walk with them through this thing called life.
