Welcome! I'm Vivian Ilene Gilmore, LMFT. Congratulations on taking the first step towards improving your mental well-being. I am a neurodivergent therapist and I love working with clients who have ADHD, Autism clients on the spectrum, women, caregivers who need support, and elderly clients. Embarking on the journey of therapy can feel both empowering and daunting, and it's completely normal to experience a mix of emotions.My goal is to cultivate a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their challenges, whether they're related to anxiety, depression, or self-care. I can provide invaluable support to clients navigating by offering a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. Therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and can support you in achieving the fulfilling life you deserve. If you're ready to begin this journey, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session together, my primary goal is to create a comfortable and trusting space where we can start building a therapeutic relationship. I'm eager to learn more about you as an individual, including your unique experiences, values, and aspirations. I'm here to listen attentively to the challenges you're currently facing, whether they relate to anxiety, depression, or self-care. I hope to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel valued, respected, and understood. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on empathy, active listening, compassion, and trust. I am dedicated to continuously learning and growing as a therapist, staying informed about the latest evidence-based practices and techniques to provide the highest quality of care to my clients. I am committed to developing a genuine connection and facilitating positive change with all my clients.
