About
Vivian Nho
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Registration Number 15008, College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario
Vivian is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), life coach, artist and philosopher who is dedicated to helping individuals holistically treat mental illnesses and develop better relationships with themselves and others. She is passionate about progressing the practice of psychotherapy by reinvigorating the ideas from which the field originated and integrating them with all the theories that followed. Her eclectic, evidence-based approach to psychological change is greatly influenced by her international, spiritual, and holistic perspective.
Compassion, creativity, authenticity, and social justice are guiding values in her work. She strives to go the extra mile to support her clients by offering immediate assistance, wise guidance, and practical resources to inspire hope and transformation.
Her lived experience of adult ADHD and recovery from cannabis addiction, combined with her expertise in psychopharmacology and psychedelic-assisted therapy, are especially valuable to those struggling with complex, concurrent disorders. Her foundational approach is person centered, often integrating Jungian therapy, Adlerian individual psychology, traditional psychoanalysis, gestalt therapy, schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapies (MBCT, DBT).
Qualifications & Trainings
-
Goal-FocusedGoal-focused therapy lets you specify what you want to get out of therapy, allowing you and your therapist to develop a plan for getting there. Even if your goals for therapy are simply about having someone to talk to about difficult life circumstances or sorting out challenging thoughts and feelings, it is worthwhile for both you and your therapist to be clear on this. Goals also allow therapists to develop a plan that takes into account your resources and budget for therapy, ensuring we work within the financial and schedule limitations we need to. Therapists at our clinic are goal-focused and will help you both set goals, take steps towards helping you meet those goals, and continuously evaluate progress and your satisfaction with the direction of therapy.
-
Person-CentredAt our practice, our therapists use a person-centered approach that is catered to you and designed around your specific needs, goals, and life context. We do not take a ‘rinse-and-repeat’ or protocol-driven approach to therapy. Rather, based on your goals for counselling, we will co-develop a specific treatment plan with you, drawing on what we know as therapists and what you know as the expert on your own life and history.
-
Evidence-BasedPsychotherapy approaches that are considered evidence-based have been rigorously evaluated by researchers across many different studies and found to be effective in improving various psychological problems and mental health concerns. Pursuing approaches that are validated by research is an important step to ensuring that you receive a high-quality therapy plan and preventing harm that can sometimes occur when receiving treatments that are not evidence-based.
-
Cognitive-Behavioural OrientedWrite Here Clinicians working at our practice primarily operate from a cognitive-behavioral theoretical orientation that places a strong emphasis on helping clients change their relationship to difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our clinic’s emphasis on cognitive-behavioural approaches means that you can expect the therapy you receive to be practical, logical and intuitive, and provide you with clear skills, strategies, and resources that can be used in your life.
