My name is Dr. Ann Viviano. I am a cognitive behavior therapist who has been in clinical practice for 30+ years. I have experience working with men, women, couples, and LGBGTQ+ clients.
My approach
My approach to therapy uses cognitive behavior therapy and a solutions-oriented approach.
My focus
I typically work with women, men LGBTQ+ clients of any age who suffer from Adolescents/Teens, Anger Management, Coping Skills, Depression, Divorce, Emotional Disturbance, Gender Identity, Job Stress, LGBTQIA+, Marital/Pre-marital, Relationship Issues, Sexual Orientation, Spirituality, Transgender Issues, and Women's Issues.
My communication style
I am not formal and I usually have a conversation with my clients. I also ask a lot of questions at the beginning.
My journey to mental healthcare
When I was in High School I took a test to determine what careers matched my interests. The results were archeologist, detective, and psychologist. I was interested in archeology but didn't want to spend my life dusting off stones. I was interested in exploring the unknown and solving problems so Psychology was my choice
My goals for you

My first session with you
