Vivian McCollum, LPC

Psychotherapist
MO
Hi there, I'm Vivian! My name is Dr. Vivian J. McCollum. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD in Counseling from Saint Louis University and an MSEd in Counseling from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationship challenges, and communication difficulties. My approach I practice from a convenient model that includes client-centered, cognitive, and behavioral therapies. My focus I have particular experience working with couples and individuals to help them solve communication and intimacy issues. For the past five years, I have also worked with older adults, helping them use positive life skills to enrich their lives. My communication style I collaborate with my clients by presenting questions and scenarios that encourage them to be active participants in their own therapy. I am warm and nurturing, with a no-nonsense approach to helping clients heal. My journey to mental healthcare I have four years of experience as a school counselor and director of counseling for a school district in the Midwest. I started a private practice in 1998 and currently work with children, adolescents, and their families. Additionally, I have ten years of experience as a college professor of counseling at several tier-one universities. My goals for you In the initial session, I ask my clients to help set therapy goals by identifying what they feel is their priority. My first session with you During the first session, I ask clients to share their presenting issue and complete a historical timeline to identify important events in their lives that have influenced their thoughts and behaviors.
