Vivien Roman-Hampton

Hi! My name is Vivien (she/her/ella). I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I also have a graduate certificate in Women in Public Policy and Politics, completed my Master's in Social Work at Salem State University, and am currently working towards my Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut studying the intersection of mindfulness and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I have largely worked in historically marginalized spaces (BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S, and Veterans) as these are also spaces I identify with as well as with those who identify as allies to these communities.

I have been fortunate to have a variety of experiences in my work in mental health that have challenged me and given me the opportunity to think out of the box.

My approach towards working with clients is a creative and collaborative one. This is your path and I will not be in front of you but by your side. I utilize an integrative approach in treatment which means I pull from a variety of approaches to provide a service that is individualized to the client. I use humor, when appropriate, but am direct and will challenge old patterns and behaviors.

Without a doubt, I am strengths-based, and so I am always looking to identify those qualities in you. I enjoy learning and training in different approaches and utilize skills in EMDR, Humanistic, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Mindfulness, and Liberation theories!

I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I use therapeutic writing and bibliotherapy often and see it as a powerful medium for working with clients and this process has also led to work using art, movies, and music in sessions.

I am licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Illinois. If you feel that we might be a good fit, please connect with me through the SonderMind message system.
