Aviva Euripides

Aviva Euripides is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. She offers steady, practical support and listens first to figure out what matters to each person. Her approach is calm and matter-of-fact, aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Aviva blends mindfulness practices with client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make different choices. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and narrative ideas to help reframe thoughts and tell more helpful personal stories. Her work includes attention to intimacy, parenting strains, addiction, trauma, grief, and career worries, alongside other concerns like ADHD and burnout.

She trained at the University of California at Berkeley and New College of California and has supervised clinicians across outpatient and acute mental health settings. That supervisory work shaped a practical understanding of what helps people in real-life treatment situations. She describes therapy as a process of assessing what’s working and adjusting accordingly.

Aviva has experience offering counseling by telephone and online video, and she is comfortable with remote sessions. She tends to schedule live chat sessions midday on weekdays and offers early morning or weekend appointments by video or phone. Prospective clients in California can expect a straightforward intake process and collaborative planning of next steps.

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused, starting with careful listening and then experimenting with small changes. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings to test what helps and what does not.
