Our Approach
At Vi Tran Psychology, we honour the complexity of identity, trauma, and healing through a culturally responsive and intersectional lens, with my approach rooted in:
Cultural Humility - Continuous learning and honouring the wisdom within diverse lived experiences.
Decolonising Mental Health - Acknowledging the impact of colonialism and systemic oppression in shaping mental health experiences.
Trauma-Informed & Intersectional Care - Recognising how individual experiences of trauma are shaped by broader societal and historical factors.
Collaboration & Community - Therapy is not just about the individual; healing happens in connection with culture, history, and relationships.

Hey there! I'm a Clinical Psychologist and a board-approved supervisor. I'm Vietnamese-Australian, and I also love nature, am a true food fanatic, and a Netflix-addict. Beyond therapy, I'm dedicated to mentorship, consultation, and education on culturally responsive practice.
I've been in the industry for over a decade, and I've had the opportunity to train in several modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I'm here to lend an ear, to listen non-judgementally, to figure it out with you, and to support you on your journey.
We'll use evidence-based practices, and there will be moments of learning and practice. We may have light-bulb moments, tears, celebrations, and discoveries about ourselves and others. We may make mistakes, and we may learn self-compassion. We can take baby steps or huge leaps.
Life can throw us all sorts of colourful things. It's part of my job to support you to sort those colours out, and figure out what works best for you.
