Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Annie N. Bui, Psy.D., and I am so grateful to share my background with you and for us to see if we can start your therapy journey together. I am a licensed psychologist registered by the California Board of Psychology and currently accepting new clients in the Grow Therapy community. Some quick questions for you: How do you define health and a fulfilling life? Could you stand to be more mindful of your choices and live more meaningfully and successfully? I understand that starting the work in therapy can be difficult, but managing a balanced and thriving lifestyle doesn’t have to be. Let’s begin on the path of healing together. As a bilingual English-Vietnamese-speaking psychologist, I provide a safe and non-judgmental therapy environment that is culturally aware and trauma-informed. Until then, please see more of my background on this page. I wish you and your loved ones well!
