Jimmy Nguyen, M.Ed., LPC-R, NCC

You've work hard, you followed the blueprint to success, you did all the right things and made all the right choices, you sacrificed to get to where you are at this point. Yet, instead of feeling accomplished and satisfied, you feel anxious, unhappy, lost, empty, and more uncertain than ever. If that sounds like you, I want you to know that you are not alone. With a little bit of dedication and direction, you can achieve a life that you’re proud of and that fulfills you, one that gives you excitement, motivation, energy, connection, purpose, and meaning. I believe that living in a world where we are constantly told who we are and what we should do gets in the way of living our best lives. Through my humanistic and existential therapeutic approach, I can help guide you to the answers that you’re looking for by asking the right questions and providing the non-judgmental space you need to fully explore your formative experiences, your identity, your beliefs, your values, and ultimately who you are and what your purpose is in this world. In addition, being a second-generation Vietnamese-American and having lived in Japan for over a decade has afforded me with a unique global and cultural lens. I specialize in international & multicultural populations, Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) issues, and the LGBTQ+ community. I am also familiar with transpersonal, spiritual, and near-death experiences (NDEs). I have helped clients navigate a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity, self-confidence, loneliness, self-acceptance, motivation, productivity, perfectionism, grief, interpersonal conflict, relationships, sex & intimacy issues, life transitions, trauma, distress tolerance, life meaning & purpose, and pressures from family/society. These are just some of the many things you can bring up and explore in our sessions together. You are also welcome to bring up any other topics and concerns you may have—nothing is off the table in our discussions together! Many great clinicians out there can give you the skills and coping strategies to address your anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. However, if you’re willing and ready to go deeper, learn what’s really important to you, and discover your true calling and potential, I invite you to reach out and see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you!
