Dr. Vivian McCollum, LPC

I have only had one session with Ms. Vivian but that one session confirmed I selected the right therapist for me. She is definitely an expert in her field but she is more than that. She is genuine, she cares, and she's in it with you. She's there to support you and help you navigate your journey.

I have had the pleasure to work with Ms. Vivian and she has helped me with all my personal issues. I have been a blubbering mess to being super happy. Whatever state I was in she was there to listen and suggest a better course of action. She never judged and I felt safe to tell her exactly how I was feeling. Ms. Vivian was not only my therapist but also my friend.

Vivian helped me through grieving the loss of a family member. As a kidney donor who lost his donee (and cousin) last year, I thought my struggle might be a little too niche to find help. She guided me through it all by listening, sharing her own personal stories, and advising accordingly. Outside of my goal of getting through grief, she heard every little concern and anxiety I have in life and met them with invaluable philosophies and lessons that I came to call "Vivianisms." She is a uniquely insightful individual who has lived a lot of life and gathered a plethora of wisdoms. I'm taking a break from therapy now but I feel equipped with new tools and exercises (and Vivianisms) to get me through anything thanks to her counseling.

Vivian has been a cheerleader and a coach when I needed both! I'm so grateful she helped me get to the next stage of my mental health journey. She's willing to challenge me and question me, which was more valuable to me than a lot of what my previous counselors did. I absolutely recommend her.

I have a very difficult time with her IT. I could never get Doctor McCallum on my computer and it is difficult sometimes on the phone. I was asked to change my code and I don’t know why. Are we doing something wrong as far as connecting through your IT?

Dr. Vivian McCollum is amazing. She’s soo patient and respectful. She is personable and literally feels like you’re talking to like a auntie or family not a “dr”. So very warm and inviting. She helped me just by always being available via chat or video whatever. She helped me see my true value and her techniques were thoughtful and I really felt like she cared. If I was away or hadn’t had a meeting for some time, she always made sure to check on me and inquire about my well-being. Thank you so much Dr. V.
