Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott, LPC
About me
Hello! I am Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott, I earned a PhD. in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor with over 5 years of direct counseling experience. I live in Georgia with my family, 2 dogs, and a betta fish named Vivia. I helped clients who suffer with anxiety, stress management, depression, identity intersectionality, grief, and trauma. I have spent many years working with college students, African-American gay men in college, and adolescents. I also help African-American youth to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and also how to remain resilient.
I believe that each client is unique and diverse, as such, I prefer to integrate perspectives from multiple theoretical approaches that is a suitable fit for the client. I utilize assessment instruments to help clients understand their concerns. I believe the intersectionality with each client’s identity should be affirmed. I am trained in multicultural therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and solution focused brief therapy.
I prefer engaging in warm dialogues with clients. I believe that when a client experiences warmth from a counselor, unique opportunities emerge for the client to engage in honest communication. My only goal for counseling is to assist my client regain control and eventually lead healthier, happier, and a more fulfilled life.
I am committed to assisting you to overcome the challenges that you are facing. I feel honored and privileged to support you along your journey.

Dr. Hill-Silcott is very intuitive and ensures to listen intently to me. I always feel like I'm talking to a friend when we're in session. 10/10.

Dr. Hill-Silcott is an excellent listener! I have never felt so “seen and heard” before. Her demeanor is calming and grounding. Our sessions feel like walking into a warm hug!

Dr. Vivia is so great, she’s genuinely helped me a lot and she understands the things I talk to her about and genuinely listens to me and gives me her feedback in a perfect manner. I appreciate her so much. she checks in with me and she responds as soon as she can if I message her. My favorite thing is that about her is that she is very patient and understanding. I’ve had experiences with therapists in the past that weren’t always the best match for me. But Dr. Vivia is a great therapist for me. And is a great therapist overall.
