Lan Nguyen, LSW

I function in a lot of ways like a coach: I'll teach skills, provide feedback, and guide clients on how to incorporate and internalize what they've been learning. Sessions often begin with a check-in on how you've felt since our last session. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered, so I am ready to start where you want and discuss the issues you want to unpack. Together, we craft our goals for therapy and then explore the ways we are going to achieve those goals. Sessions are often a mix of back-and-forth sharing (insights), education, and skill-building or guidance through exercises. Most often, I will leave you with considerations to make, practices to try, or exercises to incorporate so you can be active in the therapeutic process between now and the next time we meet. Therapy is a collaboration between us, and the best results often come as a result of the work you put in between our appointments.
