Two Minds Psychological Services
Two Minds Psychological Services is the private practice of Dr. Vivian Lee Pichardo where she focuses on providing culturally sensitive, psychoanalytic, depth-oriented psychotherapy that goes beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root causes of your struggles. Dr. Pichardo places a strong emphasis on cultivating a safe relationship where you can explore your inner thoughts and feelings. This is a collaborative space where two minds work together to explore your “stuckness” and to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. It is not a space where you get easy answers - it is where questions are asked, curiosity is heightened, and hopefully, more clarity will emerge.

Contact Me:
Much of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a lived experience and process that’s difficult to explain.
I encourage you to contact me to schedule a time to talk over the phone so you can get a better sense of how I work and whether we’re a good fit.
