Thanh Nguyen
I believe in blending philosophy, playful exploration, and pragmatic action. I’ve developed a keen understanding of the human psyche. As a psychiatrist, my training has instilled in me the importance of collaborative approaches to any questions that need to be answered. Kindness is the compass by which I navigate. However, when situations demand clarity, my directness ensures we tackle the heart of the matter head-on. I'm passionate about embedding emotion and stories into the learning process, ensuring the wisdom shared doesn't just sit in the head but resonates in the heart.
I have worked with a very wide age range and every related type of trauma with now a good understanding of the overarching models of symptoms, but also treatment.
First session
During the first session, people can expect to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy/medication management and their goals for treatment. I dive into personal history, family background, and current situation to understand their needs better. I may also explain my approach to treatment and answer any questions they may have about the process. By the end of the session, you and the client should have a clear understanding of what to expect from therapy and how to move forward. If anything else, I hope to have given some hope.
Strengths
One of the many areas I have invested in during my training has been related to trauma. I have worked with a very wide age range and every related type of trauma with now a good understanding of the overarching models of symptoms, but also treatment. Other areas I have experience and interest in have been couples therapy and family therapy.
Ideal clients
Young adults in undergraduate studies, graduate studies, or no studies looking to learn about their identity through another person.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It is the bread and butter of approaching and elucidating how we connect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It's slowing down to put it under the microscope.
