A very warm welcome from the CEO of Psychologist Vietnam.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates suggest that around 14–15% of the population in Vietnam may experience mental health conditions, which is similar to global averages. According to WHO data, Vietnam has fewer than 1 mental health professional (psychiatrist or psychologist) per 100,000 people — among the lowest ratios worldwide. (source: vnexpress/health ministry)
Many people with mental disorders cannot have access to appropriate mental health services. Globally only 29% of those with mental disorders get to receive official mental health support. Treatment in Vietnam usually only involves medications, while other methods like counselling or psychotherapy have not been adequately developed.
This is one of the main reasons why I opened Psychologist Vietnam in 2020. I believe that a lot of mental conditions and disorders are treatable without the use of medication. “ I’m very proud that since 2020, we have already supported hundreds of individuals and families through quality counselling”. Besides providing quality counselling sessions for children, adults and couples, we also support schools (education department) and companies (business department).
We are a young organization; however, Psychologist Vietnam is a a modern and responsible company, we commit ourselves to the objectives of environmental, social and economic sustainability.
On behalf of our staff of Psychologist Vietnam, we look forward to serving you, your company or your school, to overcome any (mental) issue.
“Be the CEO of your own Life!”
