About Me
Strong, Smart, Quietly Falling Apart? Therapy for Women Tired of Holding it all Together.
For so long you've pretended everything is fine, and it's exhausting. You smile and on the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you carry more than anyone realizes. The never-ending worry, the self-doubt, the feelings you try so hard to avoid. You're tired of pushing through. You know something needs to change.
I work with women ready to do more than just cope, whether you're a perfectionist, a people-pleaser, an overthinker, an overdoer, or just exhausted from being the responsible one. Together we'll work out what's really keeping you stuck, not just manage the symptoms.
I'm Vivienne Livingstone, MSW, RCSW, offering in-person therapy for trauma, stress and anxiety in Calgary and online across Alberta. EMDR works differently from traditional talk therapy. You don't have to retell your story in detail to process it. I use EMDR (EMDRIA Certified), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (IS-ART Master Practitioner), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), IFS-Informed Parts Work and OEI to work at the root for deep, lasting change.
