Your Story Could Be Next

I began working with Faith Ferber when my previous counselor identified that I needed a trauma-informed approach, and the work has been incredible. Faith has helped me get more grounded in my body, to make connections between physical ailments and emotional patterns that I'd never understood, and perhaps most importantly, to understand myself in deeper and core ways. Faith brings a special combination of practices -- including brainspotting and internal family systems IFS) -- and deep commitments to justice -- which have been critical for sorting through the always-complicated mix of personal and collective matters. I highly recommend working with Faith!


Beth - Individual Psychotherapy

Sonja Favaloro was wonderful. Our work together allowed me to experience deep, impactful healing. I would recommend her and the Viva Center to anyone.


E.W. - Individual Therapy

After two decades in and out of therapy, and on and off of drugs, I didn't believe in solutions. I believed in management. Aurena and Viva revealed to me that actual healing is still possible. For the right person, this these treatment modalities (EMDR and IFS) can feel miraculous in its their outcome, even as it they seem somewhat mystical in its their mechanisms. I feel unburdened. For now, I feel happy on a consistent basis -- unmediated by drugs, flow or hypomania -- for the first time in memory. It's improved my parenting, my thinking, my work, and my ability to be a partner to my wife. It may not, in the end, solve all my problems. Time will tell. But it solved one big one and made the others feel more manageable. Thanks to Viva and Aurena!


Anonymous - 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.


J - Individual and Group Psychotherapy

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 - Individual and Group 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!


L - Individual and Group Psychotherapy
