Hello, I am Chung, a bi-lingual Vietnamese licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with over 20 years of experience in mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief & loss, PTSD, anger & stress management, relationship issues, substance abuse, parenting problems, individual with special needs, career challenges, OCD & ADHD, bi-polar, BPD, schizophrenia, etc. However, I don't accept couple/family at this time. I also don't provide any verification letter. I believe in working in partnership with clients, utilizing their strengths to help them sort out their challenges and achieve their goals. I also realize how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems (family, friends), work or school environment, faith & spirituality in this process. I think when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change. Everyone needs courage to take the first step to change. If you are ready and willing to take this step, please don't hesitant to book a virtual appointment with me by calling +1 (786) 755-1863, or emailing reception+LCSW13768@growtherapy.com I'm looking forward to working with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, I often introduce myself briefly, therapy/ its confidential policy and limitation, mandatory reports, then have time for clients to share their concerns/ needs, help them express their feelings, gain insights/ hope and feel understood/ empathized/ accepted.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Over 20 years of working experience in mental health field, I have a chance to help many clients understand their symptoms/concerns and how to reduce/ manage those symptoms in order to function well in their daily activities. Particularly I'm good at helping clients with depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, BPD, bi-polar, PTSD/past trauma, anger/stress management, relationship issue, couple/family issue, parenting skills by utilizing specific techniques effectively.
