Getting to know Ben Nguyen
Hello, I'm Ben, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco. I specialize in empowering object-oriented and high-functioning individuals to overcome the burden of societal stressors, individual maladaptive thoughts, and groupthink to achieve their personal and professional goals.
Though university-trained in CBT and Family Systems Therapy and trained under a psychodynamic-oriented therapist, I use a "one size does not fit all" approach to therapy. I blend therapeutic conversations and evidence-based techniques based on your desired goals, your personality, and my clinical judgment. I want to help you delve deeper into the roots of your struggles to gain a holistic understanding of your mental health. This approach allows you to develop a stronger relationship with yourself and achieve a greater sense of balance in your life. In a sense, I want you to do you.
I'm especially passionate about working with men in their 30s and 40s to manage the stressors of the masculinity trope and the generational trauma associated with it. I recognize the pressures that come with being a "man" and offer a supportive space for you to explore.
I'm committed to providing a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to make you feel comfortable and secure in this therapeutic journey. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and I look forward to teaming up with you. Let's do this.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
