Getting to know Thomas Nguyen
As a trauma therapist, I'm passionate about BIPOC mental health, LGBTQIA+ identities, and relational violence. For those struggling with self-doubt, overthinking, or understanding their place in the world, I'm here to help provide the support you deserve. In our sessions, I emphasize a strengths-based approach, recognizing and celebrating your resilience and inner resources. With warmth, empathy, and understanding, I honor your expertise in your own experiences and integrate your unique strengths into our therapeutic work together. I'm honored to walk alongside you on this path towards healing and self-discovery. Welcome to a space where your well-being is a priority.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, which informs my clinical approach and commitment to culturally responsive care.
Multicultural Compassion
I conduct sessions primarily in English, ensuring every client feels heard and understood. Drawing from my proficiency in Vietnamese and Mandarin, as well as my rich understanding of various Asian cultural backgrounds, I aim to create a warm and inclusive space where you can embark on your journey of personal growth with confidence.
Geeky Pursuits
As a therapist deeply immersed in geek culture, I ensure our sessions feel relatable and comforting. Whether we're exploring the open world of TTRPGs or video games, the intricacies of your favorite anime or movie, or reflecting upon your latest tarot readings, we're embarking on this adventure together, guided by your passions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting on this process can be scary or exhausting but know it can also be empowering and life changing. If you're seeking a therapist who is warm, affirming, and committed to your well-being, I invite you to reach out. Together, we'll navigate the winds of change and discover the path to healing and self-discovery.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Many of my clients have initially voiced looking for help but were unsure of what therapy looks like or would do for them. As we begin working together, we'll take time discussing what led you to therapy, processing any previous experiences or expectations, and come up with a game plan for addressing your concerns. My approach has been described as warm, collaborative, and empowering.
I approach therapy with a culturally sensitive and intersectional lens. I recognize, acknowledge, and respect each aspect of the authentic you. Your journey may involve non-traditional approaches that incorporate what brings you joy— maybe it's creative arts, video games, TTRPGs, anime, etc. Together, we'll explore and find strategies that resonate with you.
