About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Georgia. I received Master's degree in general counseling from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and a doctorate in counselor education/ marriage and family therapy from St. Louis University. I practice from a convenience model that includes client-centered, cognitive and behavioral therapies. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationship issues and communication issues.
I have particular experience working with couples helping them to solve communication and intimacy issues. For the past five years I have added older adults to my case-load helping them to use positive life skills to enrich their lives. I think that I can help by providing a listening ear to assist individuals to look at their issues critically and practically. I bring optimism and hope by helping to validate the feelings of individuals that allow me to work with them.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Vivian McCollum. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
So far so good with Vivian. She gave us assignments and that assignment brought us to speak of things clearly.
We had a great experience and highly recommend her
My partner and I have really enjoyed working with Vivian over the last several months. Grounded in kindness and care, she always supported us as individuals and as a couple. It's been a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her to others seeking therapy.
Patient, listens and share relatable stories.

Vivian has been a great help. She has given us tools to use to work with going forward. She does not take sides. She listens, gives poignant advice, while acting as a mediator. My wife and I have benefited greatly from our sessions with her.
Vivian is a godsend. She is so warm, kind, intuitive, and smart - an amazing combination that immediately builds trust and builds bridges. She is also wonderful to work with - responsive, organized and proactive. We feel super lucky to have found Vivian!
