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.
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.
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.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Currently not in practice. 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.

I absolutely love Dr. Nguyen. It’s rare to find someone who is both a great psychiatrist and someone you instantly feel comfortable talking to. His warm, welcoming energy makes it easy to open up, and he truly listens without judgment. Even in my first session, I felt understood and supported. He’s flexible with scheduling and clearly puts his patients first. A rare find, and I’m so grateful Grow matched me with him.

Instead of brushing over concerns and challenges by using medications, Dr. Nguyen works to uncover the roots of our issues and thought patterns. He works to heal the mind and body through being a kind stable support. With past psychiatrists new medications were consistently thrown my way. Dr. Nguyen was a fresh glass of water who is working to decrease the amount of meds I take instead of increase. Working with him has been absolutely darling.

I have finally found a provider that doesn't just jump to throwing every pill in the book at me. I feel comforted in the fact that I am actually being listened to, and receiving the treatment I've so long deserved
