CA
Hi there, I'm Phuong Nguyen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master in Social Work from Azusa Pacific University and a Bachelor's from California State University, Fullerton. As a therapist, I am passionate about cultivating a safe space for you to examine challenges and barriers that prevent you from living a joyful life. I hope to use therapy as a tool to help you find healing and growth in your journey. My approach My therapeutic approach varies depending on each client and their needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt therapy (centering on the here and now and bringing awareness to the present moment). These modalities help me understand clients? current reality, and together, we work toward identified goals. I also use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. My focus In clinical practice, I work well with a wide age range?from children to adults?but best with teenagers to young adults dealing with transitions, figuring out values and identities, relationship issues, and social pressures. I help clients build skills to confidently navigate these growth areas. My communication style My style is gentle yet straightforward and compassionate. When you enter my therapy space, I ensure you feel genuinely cared for and that I am invested in your journey toward joy and healing. My journey to therapy During difficult family life in high school, I remembered teachers and counselors who encouraged me to rise above challenges and achieve goals I, as a Vietnamese immigrant, thought impossible. I told myself I would be that person for someone in the future. Many have also said I have always loved helping others.
