As a licensed therapist serving clients across New York and Texas, I specialize in trauma treatment and have dedicated my career to helping individuals heal from the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. With 15 years of clinical experience, I provide a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment where clients can process difficult experiences, restore a sense of safety, and move toward lasting emotional healing.
My practice focuses on working with individuals affected by trauma, complex trauma, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), childhood abuse and neglect, interpersonal violence, domestic violence, sexual trauma, medical trauma, grief and loss, and other significant life-altering experiences. I understand that trauma can impact every aspect of a person's life, including relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, trust, physical health, and overall well-being.
Using trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches, I help clients understand the effects of trauma on the mind and body while developing effective coping skills, emotional resilience, and healthier patterns of functioning. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process.
In addition to trauma treatment, I work with concerns that commonly accompany trauma, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, social anxiety, life transitions, workplace stress, and multicultural challenges. I recognize that each person's story is unique and tailor treatment to meet individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I believe that healing is possible, even after the most difficult experiences. Whether you are coping with recent trauma, unresolved experiences from the past, or the long-term effects of chronic stress and adversity, I am committed to helping you build insight, reclaim your sense of self, and create a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we can work toward healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

Viviana made mw feel comfortable talking to her. She was extremely attentive and listened to my concerns. She was thorough and asked me some great questions that had me realized things and see things from a different perspective. I am glad that she is my therapist.

Viviana is the best therapist I have ever worked with. Even when we don’t have an appointment scheduled she ensures to meet with me whenever I truly need her. She is attentive, honest, and incredibly gentle with all of her advice and feedback. In the past 2 years I have known here I have made so many positive changes and have been able to handle adversity with ease. I give her my highest recommendation for people in need of a therapist that truly cares and goes above and beyond.
