I’m Viviana McGovern, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in EMDR, PTSD, Trauma, and Anxiety
From as far back as I can remember, my heart has been drawn to understanding the complexities of the human mind and helping others navigate their emotional well-being. This deep-seated passion ignited a transformative journey that led me to pursue a career as a mental health therapist. Driven by an unwavering desire to make a positive impact in people's lives, I wholeheartedly embraced the path of rigorous academic and practical training in psychology and mental health.
Through years of dedicated study, hands-on clinical practice, and a steadfast commitment to ongoing professional development, I have honed my skills in providing compassionate and effective therapeutic support. I believe the most meaningful growth happens when individuals feel genuinely heard, seen, and understood. That's why I approach each therapeutic relationship with authenticity, empathy, and an unwavering belief in the resilience of the human spirit.
Keeping up with the ever-evolving field of mental health is a top priority for me. I remain devoted to staying abreast of the latest research findings and evidence-based practices, ensuring that my clients receive the most current and effective interventions available.
But beyond the credentials and knowledge, what truly fuels my work is the profound connections I form with my clients. Witnessing their personal breakthroughs, their journeys of self-discovery, and their transformation is a privilege that continually reinforces my passion for this meaningful profession.
I understand that seeking therapy can be an incredibly vulnerable and courageous step. That's why I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of life, uncovering your unique strengths and empowering you to overcome challenges along the way.
I am honored to join you on this deeply personal journey toward emotional well-being, growth, and self-fulfillment. Let's embark on this path together, supporting each other every step of the way.
