But none of it worked, and you’re trying to figure out why.

  • Talking about your problems isn’t working. 

  • You don’t see the results that you want

  • You’re tired of wasting time and money on things that don’t work

  • You’re holding out hope that the next therapist will have the answers

  • No matter what you try, you always end up back where you started.

  • “I’M STARTING TO QUESTION IF THERAPY IS RIGHT FOR ME.”

    You’re in a therapeutic process, but it’s not producing results. You’ve started to hear about more cutting-edge approaches that get results faster and more efficiently and you’re wondering if that’s the path for you.

  • “I’VE TRIED MULTIPLE THERAPISTS AND I’M STILL STRUGGLING”

    You have great tenacity but despite multiple change-ups, the type of therapy you’re receiving isn’t getting to the root of the issue.

  • “I’M LOOKING FOR THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RELIEF”

    You’re ready to try something new and you’ve recently discovered this whole new way of getting faster results by going beyond traditional talk therapy.

  • “I FEEL LET DOWN BY THERAPY”

    You were so hopeful before you started and then you realized that the cookie-cutter approach your therapist was using wasn’t right for you.

  • “I’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MY PROBLEMS FOR YEARS, BUT MY LIFE HASN’T CHANGED.”

    You’re a hard worker and have been tackling your problems the way you were taught and now you are ready to try something more effective.

  • “I’M FEELING COMPLETELY ALONE IN MY STRUGGLES.”

    You’ve heard about the amazing ways traditional therapy has helped people but haven’t found the same relief. You’re seeking a custom-tailored solution to match your unique journey.

  • “I YEARN FOR A SENSE OF PEACE AND DIRECTION”

    You know the solution to your struggle is out there and you are ready for expert guidance.

Testimonials

Your Story Could Be Next

The entire Viva Center is infused with a calm, peaceful, loving spirit. Everyone I’ve encountered (including the reception staff) is generous and helpful.

This beautiful, healing atmosphere is due to the hard work and dedication of the Center’s founder, Dr. Julie Lopez. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Dr. Lopez: Caring, generous, empathic, and her clinical wisdom is superb. When you speak with her you really know that she is totally focused on listening to you and being a helpful support to you.

What a gifted therapist she is. Yes, I know I sound over-the-top, but the Viva Center really is a magical place.

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.

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

The process I went through with Viva Partnership was really something. I came here in a serious crisis. Through the individual and group support I received, I gradually shifted my outlook. This, in turn, changed how I experienced my life and relationships. Viva created a safe space where I got to heal and grow.

Individual & Group Psychotherapy

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.
