Getting to know Thuy Nguyen

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Vietnamese American refugee immigrant. I provide therapy through a trauma-informed care lens to assist my clients in healing from past traumas and finding a path to mental wellness. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. My approach is strength-based and uses inclusive language. I evoke change through motivational interviewing interventions to explore my clients' motivation. I have training in harm reduction, Seeking Safety, CBT-I, MI, the Recovery Model, Solution-Focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. I typically work with Asian Americans but have experience with diverse ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, ages, and varying levels of mental illness severity. My communication style is calm and collected. I strive to be transparent with my clients, address their issues when they are ready, and support positive changes to transform their lives. I respect my clients' decisions, provide active reflective listening, and meet them where they are on their mental wellness journey. My own journey to mental healthcare began during graduate school when I started therapy and learned how it can help everyone heal from past and present challenges. My goal is to help others heal and rediscover themselves, and I hope to do the same for my clients. I focus on what is most important to my clients and discuss the pros and cons to ensure their goals are attainable. In our first session, I enjoy learning about my clients' personal backgrounds, their reasons for seeking therapy, and the goals they want to achieve, while building a strong therapeutic alliance.
