Hi, I’m Vivian Watters, a seasoned Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and families through life’s most difficult seasons. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or major life transitions, you don’t have to carry it alone. My style is warm, grounded, and practical. I help clients slow things down, make sense of what they’re feeling, and build real coping tools that work in everyday life — not just inside the therapy session. I use an integrative approach that draws from trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT-informed skills, strengths-based therapy, and so
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. While diagnoses can be useful, many people are seeking understanding and solutions, and together we focus on practical steps toward meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve been holding so much on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. If you’re looking for a steady, compassionate space to explore what you’re going through and move forward at a manageable pace, I invite you to reach out.

I use an integrative approach that draws from trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral, and strengths-based therapies. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on helping you gain insight, develop coping skills, and move forward at a manageable pace.
