For when life hands you a lemon.

Life has a way of handing us lemons that feel heavier than we can carry…

But you don’t have to carry them alone.

If you feel overwhelmed by life’s lemons, find yourself replaying past interactions, making endless backup plans for every “what if,” or putting yourself last again and again, you’re in the right place.

I’m Vivian Vo, a licensed therapist in California. My approach is laidback, welcoming of memes, humor and fancy curse words to encourage authenticity. I integrate evidence-based practices and frameworks to help you reconnect with the badass you are, strengthen resilience and insight, and create change.

Specialized In Therapy For…

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety can feel like constant worry, racing thoughts, or a heaviness in your chest that never fully goes away. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the roots of your anxiety, build coping tools that actually work in the moment, and shift unhelpful patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

  • Anger

    Feeling on edge, snapping at those around you, or holding in so much until it explodes can leave you overwhelmed and disconnected from the people you care about. In therapy, we’ll uncover what’s beneath your anger, understand the triggers that fuel it, and practice healthier ways to express and regulate your emotions without losing your voice.

  • People Pleasing

    Feeling stuck in cycles of over-giving, avoiding conflict, or seeking constant approval can leave you drained and unsure of who you are. In therapy, we’ll uncover what fuels your people-pleasing, work through the guilt that keeps you saying yes, and build the confidence to set boundaries while staying true to yourself.

  • Perfectionsm

    Always chasing “just right,” holding yourself to impossible standards, or fearing even the smallest mistake can leave you anxious and never satisfied. In therapy, we’ll explore the roots of your perfectionism, untangle the harsh self-criticism behind it, and practice letting go of rigid rules so you can live with more freedom, balance, and self-acceptance.

  • Relationship Struggles

    Whether it’s tension with a parent, conflict in friendships, or challenges in intimate relationships, navigating connections with others can feel overwhelming. In therapy, we’ll explore the patterns that keep relationships stuck, practice communication and boundary setting, and build connections that feel balanced and authentic.

  • Life Transitions

    Changes like breakups, new roles, or major moves can leave you feeling unsteady and unsure of what comes next. In therapy, we’ll make space for the emotions that surface, sort through what feels overwhelming, and uncover ways to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Let’s work together.
