Therapists by cities in Vietnam





Therapists near you in Vietnam


If you are looking for qualified nearby or online independent therapists in Vietnam, you are on the right page.  The therapists listed above include registered and licensed counsellors, marriage and family therapists, specialised psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Broadly speaking, psychologists, psychiatrists, and family therapists are most suitable for specialised family or clinical situations. Counsellors, on the other hand, offer great value if you seek support, a safe space to talk, or affordable therapy options in Vietnam.

Important: If you face harm or a life-threatening situation, visit a nearby emergency service, hospital, or mental health clinic immediately. If you are in crisis, consider these helplines and suicide hotlines worldwide to get immediate support.


How to find a therapist in Vietnam?


Seeking help is the first step to improving your life. This step takes courage, and you should be proud to have come this far. Still, we know looking for the right therapist is hard, especially when you are already having a tough time. We built TherapyRoute to make finding your perfect match therapist, reviewed and verified, from the privacy and safety of your home, easy.

To find your best therapist, we recommend a systematic approach. Follow the steps below, and use the dropdowns and search tools to narrow down the results, e.g., by gender, race, and identity, until you find your perfect match, either nearby or online.


Step 1 - Identify the client -  Who needs the therapy?


It might seem obvious, but understanding who the “client” is can be more complex. For example, a child’s behaviour might stem from a family issue. In that case, a family therapist in Vietnam or a couples therapist in Vietnam may help address relational patterns more effectively than focusing solely on the child’s symptoms.

Similarly, if anxiety or mood issues occur in the context of a troubled romantic relationship, a relationship therapist who sees couples might be the best starting point. The “Client group” drop-down helps you narrow your search. Consider whether you need help as an individual, a couple, a family, or even a group.


Step 2 - Clarify the issue - What's the matter?


Be honest with yourself about what you want from therapy. Perhaps you know exactly what’s wrong or only know that you feel “off” and want to feel better. That’s okay. The more precise you are about the issue, the easier it will be to identify a suitable therapist (e.g., do you need an anxiety therapist in Vietnam, PTSD therapists in Vietnam, child therapist in Vietnam, or depression therapist in Vietnam).


For clinical cases: If you’re dealing with diagnosable conditions like depression, OCD, personality disorders, or complex trauma, consider professionals trained in assessment and evidence-based treatments. These include clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, or licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) who can recognize and treat mental health conditions.


For everyday life challenges: If your concerns are more about stress, anger management, personal development, or relationship issues without a formal diagnosis, you have more options. Counselling psychologists, professional counsellors, marriage and family therapists, or child psychologists may be suitable. They can help you navigate emotional difficulties, improve communication, and foster personal growth.

Use the “Filter by profession” and “Issues treated” options to find a therapist who specializes in your areas of concern, whether it’s trauma therapy, addiction, eating disorders, or a desire for better-coping strategies.


Step 3 - Consider affordability and sustainability. 


Therapy is rarely a single session. It’s a process that unfolds over time, so choosing someone you can sustainably meet with is essential.

Consider the location: is the therapist near you, or does online therapy suit your situation? Online therapy can be more accessible but isn’t always the best fit—especially if you need hands-on, in-person support or your challenges make online sessions less ideal.

Consider fees and affordability: Some therapists accept insurance or medical aid; others offer sliding scale fees. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about costs, frequency of sessions, and payment options. If a particular therapist can’t accommodate your budget, request a referral to someone more affordable who can still meet your needs.


Step 4 - Prepare yourself for the session.


Before your first appointment, think about what you want to achieve. What questions do you have for the therapist? What are your goals—reduced anxiety, healing from trauma, improving a relationship, or gaining insight into yourself?

As you attend sessions, reflect on what you’ve learned. Apply strategies and insights to your daily life. Between sessions, consider reading our expert-written articles to empower yourself further. For instance, explore:

Getting the most out of therapy


This preparation and ongoing engagement will help ensure therapy remains relevant and effective, so remember to keep checking in.  

Ask yourself: Are you making progress toward your goals? Are you comfortable with your therapist’s style and approach? If not, consider trying someone else. Finding the right fit can take time, but the effort is worth it. 

Step 5 - Maximise your therapy. 


Therapy works best when you invest in the process. Engage fully, ask questions, and be honest with your therapist. Complete any exercises or journaling they suggest. Reflect on sessions afterwards, noting insights or techniques you can apply at home.


Real change often happens between appointments as you incorporate what you’ve learned into your daily routines. If you’re exploring anxiety management, try new coping strategies your therapist recommends. For relationships, practice communication tips. This active participation helps solidify your gains and move you toward desired outcomes.



How can I tell if a therapist is right for me? 


In Vietnam, therapists are trained to work with a range of issues and to refer you to another specialist if necessary.

Therapists differ in their approach (orientation), and each brings a personality that impacts their style. Two examples of approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy and person-centred therapy. The first is more rationally focused (targeting negative thought patterns), while person-centred therapy is more empathic, centring on unconditional positive regard. 

Beyond stylistic differences, each therapeutic orientation carries a philosophy (that may or may not match your outlook), pros and cons, focus, and evidence base. You can learn more about different orientations, types of therapies, and their tools here. 

Knowing which is best for you requires careful assessment and professional thought. Best is to set up an introductory appointment with a skilled and regarded therapist, answer their questions, hear their opinion, and decide if what they say brings confidence.

People experience better outcomes when the therapeutic relationship (rapport) is good. So, choose someone you like and trust. Gauge your connection and feelings of security before committing to more meetings. 



How can you tell if a therapist is a good fit for you during the first session?


During the first session, a good therapist will actively listen, show empathy, and create a safe space for you to share. They should also explain their therapeutic approach and be transparent about the treatment process. Trust your instincts and assess if you feel understood and supported.



How much does therapy in Vietnam cost?


Therapists' fees in Vietnam vary based on multiple factors including the therapist's training background, reputation, and experience level. Some therapists accommodate people with diverse incomes through sliding scale fees.

They ensure affordability, accessibility, and fair value by adjusting their charges based on the client's income to make therapy more affordable and accessible. Before making an appointment, always contact the therapist and inquire about their rates and fees for therapy sessions.

 Investing time in researching and comparing different therapists can ensure you receive quality care that meets your needs without causing financial strain, e.g., considering each therapist's office address and choosing one near your residence or workplace can help keep within your budget.

Founder’s Note:

I started TherapyRoute alongside my full-time private practice to help people connect with the right nearby or online therapists. Over time, large online platforms have begun redefining therapy to suit their aims, prioritizing profit over personal needs.

TherapyRoute is about returning focus to you, ensuring therapy remains an independent, tailored service for your unique journey.
