Psychotherapist

Hi there, I'm Catherine! You deserve to be the hero of your own story! I’m here to help you change the arc of your story whether it’s a tragedy, a comedy, or a tragicomic romantic epic! I'm Catherine Nguyen, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles, and 18 years of experience working with clients from various backgrounds. My goal is to help my clients build resilience and insight. I look forward to working with you on your journey to healing and growth. My approach I tailor my techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual and their situation. While my approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based perspective, how we work together depends on what works best for you! My focus I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. My communication style I prioritize building rapport by creating a safe and trusting environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I hope you will feel heard and understood. I work collaboratively at your pace and provide compassionate, constructive nudges when needed. My journey to mental healthcare No one is immune from feelings of uncertainty, loneliness, and hopelessness. Witnessing the transformative power of understanding and support inspired me to pursue this path. I am motivated to help people find hope and clarity. My goals for you We will explore your current situation and identify what you want and what’s important to you to find actionable steps to make your goals achievable. Goals can evolve, so we will revisit and adjust them to ensure they align with your needs and circumstances. My first session with you I’m open-minded, ready to listen and learn more about you. My main goal is that you feel supported and understood. We don’t have to fix everything at once but let’s get started together!
