I am Viviana Ni, and my preferred pronouns are she/her. I come from a background as a first-generation Chinese immigrant. While I was born and raised in China, a substantial part of my life has been spent living and learning in Southeast Asia, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia. My professional identity and approach have been significantly influenced by the blending of Western and Eastern philosophies, resulting in a profound understanding of clients from various cultural backgrounds. These diverse aspects of my identity, along with my experiences and the contexts I’ve been in, play a crucial role in shaping my role as a counsellor.

I am a licensed clinical counsellor and registered art therapist who offers bilingual clinical counselling and art therapy services in both English and Mandarin.

我叫Viviana Ni，是第一代中国移民。尽管我出生并在中国长大，但我的生活和学习的很大一部分时间都在东南亚度过，尤其是在新加坡和马来西亚。因此，我的心理咨询方法受到了东西方文化和理念的融合影响，使我能够深刻理解来自不同文化背景的来访者。

作为一名持有加拿大和BC省执照的临床心理咨询师和注册艺术治疗师，我能够提供英语和普通话的双语心理咨询和艺术治疗服务。

我拥有超过10年的全职经验，曾在医院、非营利组织、政府机构、庇护所、精神卫生中心和以正念为基础的国际公司工作，为来自不同文化背景的人群提供支持，包括儿童、青少年和成年人。我的来访者群体包括正在经历心理困扰、焦虑、抑郁情绪、情感困难或物质滥用问题的个体，经历哀伤和丧亲之痛的家庭，以及有心理创伤史的儿童和青少年。我还面向妇女，特别是那些经历过儿时心理创伤的妇女，以及自闭症和多动症儿童, LGBTQIA2S+群体的身份危机和低自尊等其他挑战，还有因移居加拿大后的文化适应问题。
