Olivia Nguyen

Olivia Nguyen, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist with a specialization in the digital therapy of anxiety disorders, particularly Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).

She joined forces with a group of innovative researchers at the Global Mental Health Institute in Vancouver, Canada, where they are dedicated to pioneering and refining treatments for SAD, making them available to people worldwide. Olivia played a key role in crafting a new therapeutic approach that integrates virtual reality exposure into traditional therapy methods.

Her studies delve into understanding the triggers and resilience factors associated with the onset of anxiety disorders, as well as the broader social implications for individuals battling SAD in their daily interactions.

In her practice based in downtown Vancouver, Olivia employs a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET). She offers both in-person sessions and remote consultations via secure video calls, ensuring that help is just a click away for those who need it most.

As of March 2024, Olivia has been focusing on community outreach programs, aiming to educate the public about mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding anxiety disorders. Her work has not only transformed the lives of many but also set a new standard for compassionate, effective care in the field of psychology.
