Dr. Phuong "Diane" Nguyen, LMFT

Dr. Phuong "Diane" Nguyen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who supports adults and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for meaningful change. She approaches therapy as a steady partnership during life transitions, offering encouragement and direction while helping clients reconnect with purpose, strengthen relationships, and make sense of painful experiences. Her work emphasizes building coping skills, clarifying goals, and creating space for healing so clients can engage more fully with the present and move forward with greater steadiness and hope.

With over 18 years of counseling experience, Dr. Nguyen has worked with a wide range of personal and professional concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life changes. She also brings doctoral training completed in 2003 with a specialization in neuropsychology, which informs an integrative perspective that considers how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact in daily life. In addition, her forensics psychology training completed in 2006 contributes to a thoughtful, attentive approach when addressing experiences related to abuse and neglect, as well as struggles with self-worth and self-care.

Across seasons of growth and difficulty, Dr. Nguyen aims to help clients develop healthier patterns, improve communication and connection, and gently challenge unhelpful behaviors or negative outlooks so they can pursue greater meaning and balance.
