More about Vivia

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I am Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott, I earned a PhD. in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor with over 5 years of direct counseling experience. I live in Georgia with my family, 2 dogs, and a betta fish named Vivia. I helped clients who suffer with anxiety, stress management, depression, identity intersectionality, grief, and trauma. I have spent many years working with college students, African-American gay men in college, and adolescents. I also help African-American youth to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and also how to remain resilient.

I believe that each client is unique and diverse, as such, I prefer to integrate perspectives from multiple theoretical approaches that is a suitable fit for the client. I utilize assessment instruments to help clients understand their concerns. I believe the intersectionality with each client’s identity should be affirmed. I am trained in multicultural therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and solution focused brief therapy.

I prefer engaging in warm dialogues with clients. I believe that when a client experiences warmth from a counselor, unique opportunities emerge for the client to engage in honest communication. My only goal for counseling is to assist my client regain control and eventually lead healthier, happier, and a more fulfilled life.

I am committed to assisting you to overcome the challenges that you are facing. I feel honored and privileged to support you along your journey.

Where can I even start? After several months of being discouraged after my previous in-person therapist, feeling at my lowest and most anxious, after just a few sessions I am starting to learn how to understand my fears, reduce my anxiety levels and have a higher level of awareness of my body and mind. The very special thing about Dr. V is she is extremely kind, non-judgmental, offers you a space to be your authentic self and spends so much time and effort making you feel valued, worth while and safe. She often messages even outside of my sessions to check in on me, which is something I have never experienced with therapists before, and it feels so wonderful to get these messages during a busy, stressful day, to know there is someone watching out for you and help you tackle any demons, no matter how small or large. It is just a testament of her immaculate level of detail and care for her clients. You do not feel like you are a subject under the microscope which has been slapped on a category - you feel like a strong, whole human being who is capable, adaptable and agile to take on whatever life throws at you, even when the world is crumbling down. I have nothing but gratitude for my amazing therapist, and the effect these sessions have had on me have had a profound impact on my life and I am moving up in my studies, career and well-being. Let me just tell you this - I was skeptical signing onto betterhelp as an online therapy platform, but I will not be going anywhere else EVER again! Thank you Dr. V, a true role model for practitioners in the field and a Guardian angel for those who need you most during dark times in their life.
