As a holistic trauma therapist and trauma survivor,
I have got VERY good news.
You are a hardworking professional who would much rather be feeling something than feeling nothing at all. Do you ever wish you could figure out what is wrong so that getting up in the morning and going about your day is effortless and, dare I say it, even...fun?
You get along with people and people rely on you, but sometimes you do not feel as though you belong, or that people really know you. 🙈 Sometimes it feels overwhelming. Other times, it feels like you are running on auto-pilot and just going through the motions. Do you ever wish you could finally like yourself, inside and out?
👋🏼 I am Lan Nguyen (like "Mulan" without the "mu" — "Win"), and I come alongside millennials, AAPI, and BIPOC clients who try very hard to feel good enough but just do not know how to get there.
Like many of my clients, I am a child of immigrants and refugee parents and first generation American born (No surprise here— I'm Vietnamese American!). My clients are often driven by their self-critical and people pleasing tendencies — no one has higher standards than the ones they have for themselves, which leads to burnout, overthinking, and worthlessness. When it is their turn to speak up or express themselves, they often struggle to describe what they need or what they feel. They might even feel like they are invisible or voiceless. 🔇
This can often mean that my clients feel stuck or trapped in unfulfilling or toxic relationships, whether they be marriages, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships or partnerships, or dysfunctional (even abusive) family members dynamics.
If you are done with being the victim, done with self-doubt and self-sabotaging, then look no further!— I equip clients with the knowledge, skills, and tools so they can grow in self-awareness, bringing victory, hope, and freedom back into their lives. 🙌🏼 Then, they can heal deeply and break free from the self-sabotaging habits of second-guessing and overthinking. As a trauma therapist, I’ve supported 600 clients (and counting!) on their journey to break the cycle of childhood trauma and transform their lives. ✨
My clients and I connect well because I believe in their capacity for self-healing and I advocate for the healing they deserve while they believe that I understand their issues and accept them without judgment! Therapy sessions should be a place where you feel safe to process the hurts of your past and present. As a survivor of trauma and clinical depression, I understand it is scary to open up— sometimes it seems less risky to try to white-knuckle, strive, and scrape together moments of peace on your own. But you deserve to be heard! 🗣️
And you do not have to heal alone. I understand that, at the end of the day, we are all humans trying to make sense of the cards we have been dealt. Together, we can make it a winning hand. 🃏🎴
So, are you ready to heal? Ready to live more confidently with less fear?
