Hazel Huynh
Hi, I'm Hazel. I'm a bilingual Asian mental health therapist fluent in both Vietnamese and English, dedicated to supporting neurodiverse adults, including those with ASD, ADHD, and co-occurring conditions. I am also trained in assessing and diagnosing adult ASD and ADHD, and I understand the importance of accurate identification to inform effective treatment. I am deeply passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals and understanding the unique challenges they face, such as low self-esteem, mood regulation difficulties, relationship struggles, loneliness, stress, executive dysfunction, and rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD). I strive to provide a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore these challenges and develop strategies for growth and healing.
In addition, I have extensive experience working in hospice care, which has given me valuable insight into the complex emotions surrounding grief, loss, and mourning.
In addition, I have extensive experience working in hospice care, which has given me valuable insight into the complex emotions surrounding grief, loss, and mourning. I also specialize in supporting clients through grief, narcissistic abuse and healing, as well as processing trauma. My approach is holistic, emphasizing compassion and understanding through these profound experiences. Having endured my own share of trauma throughout my life—including experiences with sudden death, betrayal, and resentment—I bring a deep sense of empathy to my work. With a culturally sensitive approach, I aim to create a safe environment where my clients feel seen and supported. My overarching goal is to empower individuals to navigate their challenges, foster resilience, and promote overall well-being. I am committed to breaking down barriers to mental health care and walking alongside my clients through life’s many transitions with sensitivity and care.
First session
In our initial session, we will either review the completed intake form or work through it together. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and share their therapeutic goals. As needed, I will provide homework assignments or resources to support their progress.
Strengths
As your therapist, I specialize in helping adults navigate life's complexities, drawing from my extensive expertise. I bring a unique perspective through my deep understanding of therapy and my diverse interests in travel, food, business, and education. These passions allow me to connect with you on a personal level and incorporate real-life experiences into our work together. I believe in the healing power of humor and creativity, often infusing our sessions with a lighthearted approach. Together, we'll explore innovative strategies to overcome challenges and foster a path toward a more fulfilling life. With my support, you'll uncover your resilience and unlock your potential to thrive.
Ideal clients
I specialize in serving adults dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), as well as grief, loss, and bereavement. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking answers related to their trauma, challenges, behaviors, and emotions. They are eager to learn, grow, and develop greater self-awareness through the therapeutic process.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
As a therapist, I believe in the diversity of problem-solving approaches. I incorporate various treatment modalities to explore and discover the one(s) that best fit each client's needs. For instance, I often utilize Attachment-Based therapy. I firmly believe that attachment patterns formed in early childhood significantly influence an individual's relationships and emotional wellness throughout their lives. Guiding clients in transitioning from insecure to secure attachment styles has been an immensely healing and transformative journey for many of those I have worked with.
