Getting to know Michelle Nguyen

Hello! My name is Michelle, your licensed clinical social worker/therapist. Being human is complex. I look forward to helping you see the bigger picture. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you reshape unhealthy ways of thinking. Your perception is your reality. The way you think shapes how you behave. This approach will empower you to be in control of your emotions and behaviors. My focus When you are asked, "who are you?" "Can you tell me a little about yourself?", do you find yourself identifying with your job and/or the roles you play in your life? I like to work with adults to help them know themselves better and be able to answer those questions with confidence. You are an amazing individual before that job title and before you became a parent or someone's spouse. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare I've always been a natural helper in my life. I've been through an array of life experiences/challenges that empowered me to help others get through life's challenges. With the proper education and trainer, I can now better help others formally. My goals for you I am here to help you reach your goals. You may know exactly what you want to work on or you may have an idea. Your goals may change as you gain more insight through therapy. I am your accountability partner. This may mean that you can have homework where we will review together in the next session. During our sessions, you will gain insight and tools in order to complete your homework. You will implement and practice the new skills/tools as homework. Practice means improvement.
