Approach

Hello! My name is Vivian Simone (they/she).

I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying). I use a relational approach based on experience and theory, grounded in a deep respect for people and the natural world.

Therapy sessions are offered virtually, and in person in Madoc and Peterborough, Ontario.

Areas of focus include but are not limited to transitions, family dynamics, parenting, burnout, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, trauma, and body liberation. A client-led relational approach means that I will go with you where you want to go, mindfully, and emotionally present.

Relational therapy is a psychodynamic process that supports mental and emotional healing, self-discovery and empowerment. My practice is rooted in anti-oppression and interconnection. This includes a tender recognition of the intergenerational patterns and environmental conditions that influence development. We all have unique cultural and family histories, shaping our way in the world. When you come to sessions and share your experiences with me, I will hold them with curiosity and care.

Together, we can create a space for you, filled with support.
