Triva Ponder is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, earning her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, as well as receiving a Certificate in Consciousness Health and Healing with an Emphasis in Spirituality from the University of Santa Monica.

Triva Ponder feels if an individual suppresses his anger, fear, grief, guilt, and shame can influence one’s thoughts and behaviors, often in regrettable ways. These factors often create behavioral and interpersonal challenges.

At the San Fernando Valley Counseling Center, as an Intern, Triva created and co-led a Mindfulness Meditation Group. Spiritual Psychology is a subfield of Psychology that deals with the art and science of Conscious Awakening. Within the theory of Modern Psychology, it’s used to integrate transcendent experiences. It is also known as Transpersonal Psychology, with roots in mindfulness, mythology, and Jungian theories.

Triva Ponder likes to explore, identify, and work with these powerful energies in ways that increase self-esteem is a major key.
