Vincent Aguilar, MFT
Licensed in: California
Embracing change through psychotherapy, I offer a compassionate and supportive space for clients to embark on their journey toward recovery and understanding. I specialize in treating behavioral, alcohol, and substance addictions, helping individuals regain control and find balance in their lives.
About Me
After establishing myself as a successful Marketing Executive in Latin America and business owner, I transitioned into a fulfilling career as a Psychotherapist (LMFT). My journey led me to discover a profound purpose in treating and empowering individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relational challenges. Recently, I completed my certification from Stanford University School of Medicine in the psychology of addiction, further deepening my expertise. My career’s most cherished accomplishment is the development of an intensive holistic program for behavioral and alcohol/substance addiction, known as B.P.R.E. (Bio-Psycho-Relational-Existential). This program integrates biology, neuroscience, evidence-based psychological principles, assertive communication, empathic reflective listening skill-building, and the philosophy of IKIGAI (reason for being) to provide deep insights and lasting transformation. If you’re ready to take the first step towards a healthier life, reach out today, and let’s navigate this path together toward healing and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
How much will my appointment cost?

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
