Getting to know Dr. Bao Trinh
My name is Bao Trinh, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist with a background in Marriage and Family Therapy and Forensic Psychology. I earned my PsyD in Forensic Psychology from Alliant International University and hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. I am a client-centered therapist who believes everyone has innate tools and skills to resolve life’s challenges, especially depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationship issues.
My approach
I use transference (client) and countertransference (therapist) within the therapeutic relationship as a gauge for how everyday interpersonal dynamics may play out and reinforce current symptoms. The therapeutic relationship becomes a safe space to explore and change how a person may typically react in relationships. Drawing from strength-based training, I assist clients in reframing thoughts and beliefs to include positives, gratitude, and character strengths.
My focus
I prefer to work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. While I have experience with children, couples, and families, I primarily work with adult individuals.
My communication style
I am an empathetic therapist who actively listens, restates what I hear while reflecting on possible emotions, and collaborates with clients on their experiences and how they envision resolution. Clients need to feel safe and heard to discuss issues that may make them feel vulnerable.
My journey to therapy
I became interested in understanding how some couples grow apart, especially since relationships often start like a fairytale. I believe it is less about growing apart and more about focusing on negatives instead of positives. I find fulfillment in assisting clients to self-actualize and become the main determinants of their quality of life.
My goals for you
Collaboratively, clients are more likely to work on goals important to them and that they helped create.
