About
As an Asian American Christian, I approach serving others by honoring both their cultural and individual values.
Vivian Ng is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Rhode Island with over 13 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in community- and school-based settings. She approaches her clients with an eagerness to listen and learn their stories. As her clients allow, she walks into their spaces of hopelessness and distress to sit with those feelings, and she navigates her clients to a place of measurable change. The goal is long-term empowerment. The approach is relational and collaborative.
Vivian completed her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Providence College and received her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Assumption College. There is a vulnerability that comes with the seat of a client, and Vivian works to honor her client’s trust and confidence by providing strength-based counseling through techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, coping skills training, and mindfulness techniques with adults. Additionally, Vivian utilizes affect-regulation strategies and play therapy with children, as well as parent-skills training and psycho-education with parents. She is also a Christian, and if clients are interested, welcomes the integration of faith and spirituality into the conversations.
Accommodating and attuned to both the clients’ and her own emotional world, Vivian aims to support her clients through navigating their thoughts and identifying their associated feelings and resulting choices. Her work is stage-appropriate, collaborative, and driven by best practices that move the client toward actualized healing.

As parents, we want to give our children the best possible start. We invest hours of time and energy into teaching them the tools they need to succeed and giving them the skills to excel. Sometimes, though, we are faced with a road block and need to seek outside assistance in keeping our children on track before a problem becomes too big. When the concern has to do with the mental wellbeing of your child, child counseling is a great resource to have on your side.
When faced with an issue, early intervention by a professional can be the difference between success and struggle. Seeking help at the onset of symptoms can help you and your child get solutions before your concern grows. The sooner a counselor can become involved, the better and quicker the outcome.
It’s not always easy to spot the early signs of an underlying mental health issue. Take into consideration the following symptoms before considering seeking out services from one of our child counselors:
If you feel as though your child is expressing one or more of these symptoms or is progressing at a rate slower than their peers, a child counselor can help determine the root of the problem and can provide you with tips and ideas to put you on the path towards improvement. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.
Every child deserves the best care and treatment to put them on the road to future success. The child counselors at our office are just as invested in the positive mental health of your child as you are. Call us today to book an appointment or to further discuss what we can do for you and your child.
