Aviva Kovacs

Aviva Kovacs, LCSW, MD, LCSW-C, brings 23 years of clinical practice to work with people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and complicated relationships. She combines a practical orientation with attention to deeper patterns such as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues. Her background includes certification as a trauma specialist and as an adolescent trauma specialist, and she has substantial experience with mood concerns, dissociation, and the effects of caregiving stress.

Often offering both short-term, solution-focused support and longer-term work, she aims to provide individualized, actionable suggestions early in the therapeutic process. She is described in her materials as down to earth and committed to meeting people with compassion and without judgment. Her practice attends to a wide range of concerns including communication problems, infidelity, loneliness, self-esteem struggles, and questions about life purpose.

People seeking help for relationship patterns, the lingering impacts of past trauma, or persistent anxiety and mood symptoms can expect an approach that balances symptom relief with exploration of underlying dynamics. Her work includes attention to parent and fatherhood issues, separation and divorce concerns, and the specific stresses that accompany caregiving roles.
