Here’s what our clients say

The Viva Center offers a unique combination of top quality psychotherapy combined with a holistic, mind-body approach. Having collaborated with Viva for over 2 years, I’ve been consistently impressed with their skill at helping individuals heal in a way that is deep, thorough, and transformational, both at the mind and body levels. They have a wealth of experience and skill in the field of healing trauma, and also have a strong dedication to integrative care, evidenced by the wide range of healing arts practitioners on staff.

Jeremy Riesenfeld
Founder of Tranformational Acupuncture

My experience at the Viva Center was extraordinary. I saw a therapist there for almost 2 years, who walked me through EMDR twice. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and thought that it was well-run. I never encountered any issues, but if I had, I know that the staff would have addressed them immediately. I would not hesitate to reach out to their wonderful team of therapists for treatment.

A.L.
Individual Psychotherapy

My life was going at a fairly even pace but something was always missing. I felt like I had been groomed to do all the “right” things, but they weren’t my things. I went through a significant transformation where I learned how to tolerate bigger risks. As a result, I am living the life that is right for me. I am so grateful that I found Viva!

Individual Therapy

Decades of therapy hadn’t yielded the results I needed until I found the Viva Center. Aurena Green and Kristen Moyer are exceptional therapists who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled in the latest techniques.

Aurena’s guidance helped me through a crisis, and Kristen has continued to support my growth. She’s an excellent teacher who has helped me build self-reliance and confidence.

The Viva Center’s commitment to patient care extends beyond therapy sessions. Their business practices are efficient and accommodating, making the entire experience positive.

Rebecca F.
Individual Therapy with Kristen Moyer & Aurena Green

I have gotten a lot out of the services that I have received from Viva. I felt fully supported while still challenged to learn and grow. At Viva, I was encouraged to focus on the things that were most helpful to me and then challenged to get to the next step. I always felt enough safety in the relationship to explore myself. I have evolved both professionally and personally.
