Kylie Vinther, M.A. is a Registered Psychological Associate (PSB94029106) working under the supervision of Dr. Kirstin Filizetti. Kylie is a Doctoral Candidate in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, and earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the same institution. Kylie obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Diego State University.
Kylie specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, grief and loss, identity development, academic stress, and relational difficulties. She has experience in a variety of settings, including community mental health, school-based therapy, residential crisis centers, and hospital-based programs. Across these environments, she has supported youth and families navigating both acute crises and long-term emotional distress.
Kylie’s theoretical orientation blends diverse therapeutic approaches into a cohesive and personalized framework, creating a safe and validating space that meets her clients where they are. Her foundation lies in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which means she helps clients cultivate psychological flexibility by encouraging acceptance of difficult emotions, connection with personal values, and taking committed action steps toward meaningful change. She further integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills to strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This therapeutic journey is both collaborative and growth-oriented, where you and Kylie work side-by-side to navigate life’s challenges with openness, resilience, and purposeful action.
