The Viva Center

Whether you are living with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or any other condition that negatively impacts your ability to lead a happy and secure life, you have the power to make a meaningful change. We're here to guide and support you throughout your journey.

Every day, neurologists are learning more about the human brain and its ability to undergo significant, positive change. At the Viva Center, we harness these cutting-edge findings to facilitate profound improvements in our clients' quality of life. By combining advanced neuropsychology with empathetic and personalized treatment, we'll work with you to create a therapeutic plan that meets your unique needs.

Founded in 2007 by Julie Lopez, PhD, LICSW, the Viva Center has grown from a handful of clinicians to over 20 licensed practitioners working directly in mental health or complementary practices such as psychiatry, acupuncture, massage, and more.

In addition to being heavily trained and experienced in traditional talk therapy, our team of licensed clinicians have completed extensive post-graduate training in one or more methods of brain-therapy (EMDR, Neurofeedback, or Brainspotting). Each clinician has also experienced a 9-month long Trauma-Informed Clinical Practice certificate program, making our team exceptionally educated in and capable of treating reactions to traumatic life events.
