I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with a strong passion for helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. I hold a Master’s degree in General Family Therapy and a Master’s degree in Psychology specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Since 2015, I have worked in the psychology and behavioral health field serving diverse populations across various clinical settings.

Throughout my professional experience, I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, stress, emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, self-esteem difficulties, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I value authenticity, empathy, and meaningful human connection in therapy. I believe healing begins when individuals feel emotionally safe and supported while learning practical tools to improve emotional wellness and daily functioning. Outside of my professional work, I appreciate creativity, mindfulness, personal growth, and the importance of maintaining balance and self-care in everyday life.

I'm compassionate, direct, but patient. I am the epitome of what is not taught or learned in school--how to navigate difficulty with the highest level of competency

Welcome! I am Vivian McCown, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the owner of Inspire Therapy. I work with teens (16+), adults, and couples navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, trauma experiences, grief, and identity exploration. I also enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ clients, millennials, and those who feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns they're ready to change.

I often help those working through partner betrayal, relational trauma, or severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Clients benefit from my psychodynamic approach which has been shown to be especially helpful for managing complex trauma and improving negative relationship patterns. I have extensive training diagnosing personality disorders, in addition to helping persons with severe depression, panic attacks, nonsuicidal self-injury, and OCD. Clients tell me they appreciate my calm, regulating presence as well as my nonjudgemental stance.
