About Me

Phuong Nguyen

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, RN 

I bring a diverse background to my therapeutic work, with experience as a teacher, nurse, and yoga instructor. As a Vietnamese immigrant, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple cultural identities and the challenges that can arise in the process of adaptation and healing. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, allowing me to provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and holistic space for growth.

My journey as a teacher has deepened my understanding of human connection and the importance of fostering self-awareness and empowerment. As a nurse, I developed a deep respect for the mind-body connection, which influences my approach to mental health. My yoga training has also provided me with tools to help clients cultivate mindfulness and body awareness as part of their healing process.

 

Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting others in overcoming challenges and finding strength, whether it’s through education, physical health, or emotional well-being. These diverse paths have uniquely prepared me to guide individuals through their own transformative journeys.I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story, honor your cultural background, and embrace the process of healing with compassion and understanding.
