Getting to know Jennifer Nguyen
I became a therapist because I believe that healing and growth come from giving others space to share their life stories. In facilitating this process, I help you process life’s events, uncover your personal truths, and make meaning out of your experiences. I realize that in doing so, you will find new meaning, depth of purpose, and healing.
While I am qualified to work with a range of issues, I especially enjoy working with young adults—supporting their development, facilitating their personal autonomy, and helping them navigate life’s early years. I integrate a variety of therapeutic tools and techniques while fostering a warm and safe atmosphere.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University and earned my Bachelor’s degree from Biola University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you meet me for the first time, you can expect a warm, open presence. I treat the first few sessions as a "consultation", meaning that the two of us will have an opportunity to get to know one another before committing to a course of treatment. I acknowledge that the quality of fit between therapist and client is critical to treatment success.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My role as your therapist is to listen for patterns and themes. I pay attention to what you say, how you say it, and exploring patterns that might reveal underlying motivations and emotions. When we can bring insight into your unconscious patterns, current processes, and defense mechanisms, we can start to address the root causes of your difficulties. By bringing the unconscious patterns into your awareness, they can be examined and understood in a new way. Once that happens, old patterns can hopefully be replaced with healthier patterns. My job is to help you reflect on and explore these patterns and themes.
I don't only look at an isolated issue or problem, but rather, I’m looking at the entire system or environment that you are in. This means, I may ask questions about your upbringing, your external factors, and how you relate to yourself. I also try to keep in mind past and present relationships and interpersonal dynamics that may be contributing to your current struggles.
I listen to how early childhood attachments shape how you relate to others in adulthood. Because our therapeutic relationship is a relationship, just like any other, I listen for impressions that emerge in our client-therapist dynamic. If we have had painful relationships in our lives, the therapeutic relationship itself can be an opportunity of healing.
