Vivian Tsai is a registered social worker providing both in-person and virtual counselling services to individuals, couples and families. With extensive experience and specialized training, Vivian supports clients facing a variety of life challenges, including healing from past trauma. She employs evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Vivian is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Her practice is grounded in delivering personalized, respectful, and client-centered care.
Clients often come to Vivian seeking support for challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. They typically look for more than immediate relief; they want to gain deeper insight into themselves and their situations, and develop lasting skills to build resilience and navigate life’s complexities with greater confidence.
Vivian is dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment, meeting clients where they are and guiding them through their individual healing journeys. In addition to English, Vivian also offers sessions in Mandarin.

I help clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, and how these affect their daily lives. We'll explore these issues in depth, then work together to create a plan that helps you get your life back on track.

During our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you and understanding your unique goals for therapy. I often use CBT to help you process your thoughts and see how they connect to your emotions. With consistent practice, you'll learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts and feel more empowered to take charge of your emotional responses.
