Our Founder’s Inspiring Journey

Marvia McDonald-Dias brings a wealth of experience and a heartfelt mission to VIARepose. Her journey has been shaped by over 18 years in diverse nursing roles, which ignited her drive to create a practice truly built on patient's advocacy. As an immigrant from the West Indies, Marvia is intimately aware of the challenges faced by those seeking mental health care, especially within cultural contexts often overlooked. 

This has fueled her commitment to bridge significant gaps in mental health accessibility. Through individualized treatment plans, she aims to ensure every patient feels seen and understood. This practice isn't just an extension of her career; it's a calling aligned with personal values of empathy and empowerment. Marvia's diverse background and rich cultural heritage play pivotal roles in shaping the inclusive care approach at VIARepose, signifying a holistic commitment to comprehensive care. It's a journey of healing, shared with patients, fostering a nurturing space where change is not only possible but actively pursued.
