My name is Vita Born. I have a Level 1 Training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy and plan to continue getting trained and certified in IFS. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of California-Berkeley and a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University.

 

I have worked as a Coaching and Research Project Manager at Parent Lab, a parenting startup, as well as working for two years at community clinics serving individuals, families, and couples.

 

I love working with individuals as well as their loved ones exploring traumas, attachment issues, and helping them identify their needs and how to advocate for them while setting necessary boundaries from a place of love and compassion. I have experience helping clients with PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, exploring one’s personal identity, anger management, social skills, neurodiversity, and family challenges.

 

I love cooking and baking in a creative capacity, moving my body, spending quality time with loved ones, as well as enjoying art in the forms of visual art, music, or cinema.

 

Fun Fact: I love the Enneagram and talking to people about their type and understanding how it impacts the way we navigate our relationships.
