ABOUT

Hi, I'm Vitor Finatto, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas and owner of StrengthInSight Counseling, PLLC. I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals overcome their mental health challenges and find inner strength.

My educational journey has laid a solid foundation for my career. I obtained a bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Houston, where my fascination with the human mind and behavior first took root. Building on that, I pursued a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling from Sam Houston State University, which provided me with the necessary tools and knowledge to support individuals in their journey toward well-being.

Having served in the US Army, both in the active and reserve components, I understand firsthand the unique experiences and struggles faced by military personnel. It was during my time in the military that I witnessed the profound impact that mental health can have on individuals and their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Inspired by that experience, I made the decision to dedicate my career to supporting fellow veterans and helping them navigate the challenges they face.

My professional experience has been diverse and rewarding. I started as a student intern at a group practice, where I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals, from adolescents to the elderly. This experience deepened my understanding of the diverse issues people face and equipped me with valuable counseling skills.

Continuing my journey of serving veterans, I joined the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC). Working with veterans from various generations, including those who served in Vietnam, Korea, and the modern wars (OIF, OEF, OIR), I gained invaluable insights into their unique struggles. From post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and difficulties transitioning to civilian life, I have witnessed the resilience of veterans and their ability to thrive when provided with the necessary support.

My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their inner selves and ultimately take charge of their life again. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each person's unique needs, drawing upon evidence-based therapies and techniques.

Beyond my counseling practice, I stay committed to professional growth and stay up to date with the latest research and therapeutic modalities. By continuously expanding my knowledge, I strive to provide the highest level of care and support to my clients.

I'm honored to be a trusted advocate and resource for those seeking mental health support. Through counseling, I aim to empower individuals, veterans and civilians alike, to overcome their challenges and lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.
