I have published over 30 articles and presented at multiple local and national venues. I have experience in helping clients with relationships, family conflicts, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, depression, acculturation and intergenerational issues. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your life and it's you who can and will find solutions for your contentment. My treatment philosophy is one of partnership where we work together to find solutions. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan by incorporating you as well as your environment to meet your unique and specific needs, one that is feasible and achievable. I will be upfront to say that it takes courage and more importantly, your commitment to do the work to create changes. There are no short cuts!

Dr. Nguyen is a thoughtful therapist who helps me think constructively, especially unpacking step parenting issues and child development.

Dr. Nguyen has been such a solid support in my journey. I really appreciate his style of therapy. I feel totally comfortable to share any of my thoughts with him, and I also appreciate how he has guided me and give me feedback when I asked for it. I have had 3 therapists so far and never have I seen and enjoyed a therapist like him before!

Dr. Nguyen has been absolutely fantastic to work with.
I leave each session with practical tips and strategies for how to improve my behavior. What I love most is the tailored guidance, unique to the situation and context I’m sharing. Every week, I look forward to our sessions

Dr. Nguyen is just a gem :)
First and foremost, we just click and vibe. He makes me feel at ease and it's refreshing to know that I can just be myself during our sessions. He's super compassionate and understanding and also seems very passionate about his work. I always look forward to our sessions and have been amazed at the tremendous headway we've made after each session!
I'm also extremely grateful that he's able to identify with my Asian-American upbringing (this was the only downside I had with my last therapist). This has helped tremendously when covering certain areas such as family dynamics.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Nguyen. He's been a breath of fresh air in my life.... so THANK YOU Dr. Nguyen!!

I feel I found the right therapist for me. He places himself in my shoes to understand my issues and that makes me feel supported.
