Getting to know Helan Nguyen
Hi there, I'm Helan!
My name is Helan Nguyen, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My approach is to provide a safe holding space and work as a team with my clients to explore both the conscious and unconscious. I believe that healing comes from within, through self-determination and resilience. I want to empower my clients to understand their weaknesses and strengths.
My approach
I use integrative therapy tailored to each client's needs. Some of the theoretical approaches I incorporate include CBT, DBT, humanistic, mindfulness-based, and ACT.
My focus
I work with adults in individual and couple therapy. I have supported clients struggling with anxiety, depression, phases of life issues, relationships, intergenerational trauma, and other psychosocial stressors.
My communication style
I believe in collaborative teamwork, trusting that the client is the expert of their story. I work with my clients to guide treatment that works best for them.
My journey to mental healthcare
As a Vietnamese American female raised in a traditional family with rich cultures and values, I understand the biases and barriers surrounding mental health. I chose to become a marriage and family therapist because I hope to help people of cultural diversity better understand mental health and work through generational trauma.
My goals for you
I like to explore with clients their interests, goals, expectations, and motivations.
My first session with you
This is an open space to gather historical information and understand your purposes and expectations for treatment.

She has been helping me to take better care of myself not just physically, but mentally and emotionally and that prioritizing my needs and wants is not selfish. She has been extremely helpful.

She was an ok therapist, mainly just let me speak without offering much insight beyond the usual 'I hear you' or 'I agree with you'.
