Getting to know Dr. Viviana McKenney

The provider is a Registered Psychological Associate in CA. The registration number is 94027274 and is supervised by Mary Roohan, License no.- 34538. Hi, I’m Viviana. I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, trapped in their heads, or have difficulty connecting to the present moment. I work with highly sensitive people (HSPs) who tend to have intense emotional reactions, who experience emotional “shutdowns,” or who have challenges identifying and expressing their feelings. My therapy aims to help people feel safe as well as provide insight into how the brain and body work together to drive their distress.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is mind–body focused. In our sessions, we can understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and past experiences affect your nervous system and identify ways to regulate it. Together, we will practice mindfulness, and I will provide practical skills you can use to help you connect to the present, feel safer in your body, and be able to observe your internal and external experiences I provide affirming, culturally responsive care for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals. I am bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In sessions, I will provide tools on how to manage your stress and anxiety levels, process unresolved experiences or trauma, and improve your capacity to regulate your emotions. We can work on developing awareness of how the past shows up in the present, and use grounding and emotional regulation tools to help you live your life more intentionally. This way, you can respond rather than react to life. We can work together to help break the cycle of avoidance and live life based on what matters to you. One thing that makes me unique is that I provide psychological assessment services for adults. Psychological testing is a wonderful tool that can help clarify diagnoses, better understand emotional or psychological patterns, and guide treatment planning. My approach to assessment is similar to my approach to therapy: collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in an understanding of how emotional, cognitive, and nervous system factors interact.
