★★★★★
The openness and flexibility of the scheduling, as well as the support received from the provider. She really listens and helps me sort through my thoughts even when I don't even know how I feel. It also helps me realize the connections to things that happen now are triggers for what happened in the past and how to work through it and be present in my feelings.

Vivian provides a welcoming conversational space for exchange. She is able to listen with genuine care and when the time is right give feedback that is both empathetic and constructive. If I have to share a problem with her that might be difficult to share with even a close friend, I feel she is able to help coach me along with a patient reassurance that my thoughts and feelings will be considered without judgment. There may not always be a direct or immediate answer to what I’m working through but she is able to encourage healthy thought-habits and emotional strategies which help me to progress. I really appreciate her respectful frame of mind and down-to-earth personality, they make talking with her worthwhile.
