Dr. Venus Nicolino, professionally known as Dr. V, is a celebrated relationship expert, media personality, and host of the popular reality TV show Marriage Boot Camp on WeTV. Dr. V's recent achievement as a bestselling author was marked by her debut at number one on the LA TIMES bestseller list with the release of her first book, "Bad Advice: How to Survive and Thrive in an Age of Bullshit," published by HarperCollins.
Dr. V's unique personality combines intellectual acuity with emotional sensitivity, blending the analytical mind of a Ph.D. with the nurturing qualities of an Italian mother and the creative use of language reminiscent of a truck driver from Philadelphia. With Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars entering its eighth season, Dr. V initially appeared on Bravo's L.A. Shrinks in 2013.
Since then, she has been featured on numerous TV shows, including Real Housewives of New Jersey, Millionaire Matchmaker, Watch What Happens Live, The Dr. Oz Show, The Real, Rachael Ray, KTLA5, SiriusXM, Fox News, CBS News, and many others. Dr. V is also a regular panelist on The Steve Harvey Show's Straight Talk segment.
Dr. V holds advanced degrees in her field, including a Master's in Counseling Psychology from New York University, a Master's in Clinical Psychology, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology.
