Welcome. As a licensed therapist since 1980, I have extensive experience working with
a wide variety of specialties. I bring an equal variety of experiences from
my former professional business and educational experiences that add to my
understanding of workplace challenges and their impact on your life. In
addition, I am a published writer and poet.
You are welcome to email me at pen@vivianhankin.com or call me -
510-525-1217 - regarding therapy sessions or other questions you may have.
I work with individuals, couples and groups. Individuals and couples
include anyone 18 years or older, any ethnicity and either gender.
Interactive Psychotherapy That Works
My private practice is in Berkeley, California. My office is conveniently located
for residents of Oakland, Albany, El Cerrito, and Kensington, as well as Berkeley.
I practice Interactive Psychotherapy that is safe, compassionate, caring and effective.
My deep knowledge of the different types of therapy is particularly useful, as I
choose from them what I believe is the best approach in any given situation.
A Variety of Therapeutic Approaches Allowing Appropriate Work on all
Problems
As a psychotherapist I use solution-focused Behavioral and Cognitive,
therapeutic approaches to short term work. Also I apply my knowledge as a
Licensed Life Coach: Let's define the problems, set goals and work
towards solving those goals. I also recognize situations that require
Depth-Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches such as feelings of low self
worth and negative beliefs. In general I find most people have a variety of
problems they work on which require a shift from one approach to another.
By removing those blocks that keep you from your full potential, you can
begin a journey of personal growth to your Authentic Self that leads you to
a better relationship with yourself, others, your work, your creativity, and
to your life.
Becoming your Authentic Self through the Transformative Power of Therapy
Our work together, as I view it, will be creating a path to your Authentic
Self. Through the transformative power of therapy we work together
towards your making the changes in your life that inspire you to become your
true self.
