About me
Hey there! I'm Cindy Nguman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years experience in the mental health field, providing telehealth services to teens, adolescents, young adults and adults statewide. I specialize in fostering mental well-being, particularly in areas such as anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, identity issues, and relationship challenges.
My passion extends to working with diverse populations, including the LGBTQ community, Asian Americans, young teens and adults. I am a proud first generation Vietnamese American and I find immense fulfillment in creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life. Beyond my professional expertise, my personality shines through in sessions – I bring humor, light-heartedness, and genuine warmth to create an environment where you can feel truly understood.
In therapy, I blend a strength-based and person-centered approach to guide you through life's complexities. Whether you're navigating your identity, facing social pressures, or seeking support, I'm here to help you build skills for a positive outlook. My communication style is friendly and non-judgmental, allowing you to openly discuss anything on your mind.
My personal journey as an immigrant informs my commitment to assisting others facing adversity. We'll embark on a journey together, setting and tracking goals with a foundation of trust and comfort from our first session. If you're ready to explore self-discovery with a mix of humor and empathy, I'm excited to support you on this transformative path.
**PLEASE NOTE: I am ONLY offering live chat sessions at this time due to high demand**
Thank you!!

I’ve been on a long journey to find the right therapist for me and I finally found what I’ve been looking for in Cindy! She’s so supportive, understanding and helps you sort through your thoughts — and she does so with humor and warmth along the way. I’ve also found text therapy to be so much more effective because it allows me to really take the time to tap into what I’m thinking and Cindy is so patient. While my time with Cindy hasn’t even been for that long, she’s already helped me notice thought patterns and provided substantial ways to address them during the week! I’m so excited to continue working with her — thank you for all you do, Cindy!

Cindy helps me understand how I am and how my brain works. I love that she talks to me like a normal conversation. She is also quick to answer my questions.
