Viviane Silva

Founder & Director MSW/RSW, Psychotherapist

Hi, my name is Viviane Silva, and I’m truly honored to be a part of your recovery journey.

I’m a compassionate and skilled clinical social worker and psychotherapist with extensive experience in supporting individuals struggling with addiction, codependency, and emotional regulation difficulties. I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with a deep need to please others or sacrifice their own happiness and well-being to care for those around them. Many of my clients come to me feeling trapped by patterns of avoiding conflicts, ignoring their own needs and feelings, deflecting from difficult conversations with family and friends, and ultimately harbouring resentment and discontent. It leads to low self-esteem, difficulties with decision making, and a constant need for external approval, recognition and validation. I understand that these patterns can feel painful, and I want to assure you that healing is possible. I will help you to become more confident in communicating your needs and feelings, prioritize yourself, reclaim your sense of self-worth and find stability in your life even if you’ve tried other things that haven’t worked.

By deciding to attend group sessions and commit to the process, you’re setting yourself on a path that will positively impact your future. While the journey ahead may have its challenges, each step you take brings you closer to growth, healing, and regaining control over your life.

Your active involvement in group therapy is key to your success. The more effort you put in, the more you will gain from it. Group therapy is a powerful tool, and by staying engaged and committed to the weekly practices, you help ensure that both you and your peers stay focused, supported, and on the path to recovery.
