“I have had over 20 sessions with Samantha. She actively listens and provides thoughtful and reasonable feedback to my current situation/concerns. She also remembers things that I said long ago to help reinforce better habits and that reassures me that she is paying attention to what is important to me. I was nervous about starting individual therapy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate therapist”

“Incredible human helping other incredible humans. She is easy to talk to and it never feels invasive. She allows you to decide what you’re comfortable discussing and when. This shaped and developed my faith and trust in Samantha, which in turn allowed me to chat on the more difficult topics. Samantha is an incredibly intelligent and thoughtful person, I highly recommend her services.”

Getting to know Samantha Nguyen

Hello There! I'm Samantha. Nice to meet you (virtually). Are you struggling with hopelessness or crippling anxiety that makes it hard to enjoy meeting people or doing activities you once loved? Or are you grieving the loss of a loved one or a significant change in your life? Whatever stressors are affecting you, you deserve to prioritize yourself. Working with a therapist allows you the time and space to care for your needs. I empower individuals to overcome the burden of social expectations and maintain healthy boundaries through self-exploration and emotion regulation. Together, we will work toward better self-care, mindfulness, and bringing enjoyment back into your life. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and my Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Irvine. I'm here to help. I can be your sounding board and hold space for you to be vulnerable. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and non-judgment so you are free to express yourself. Let's work together!

What should a new client know about working with you?

As your therapist, you can expect full transparency - transparency in therapy style, feedback, and even fees. My hope is to show you a personable, caring and compassionate therapist you can trust as I walk alongside you on your journey.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
