More about Mai

My name is Mai Huong Nguyen, and I am a behavioral heath specialist and certified relationship coach. For almost 20 years, I have been helping my clients with various behavioral health issues that negatively impact their overall health, their marriage and significant relationships, as well as their performance at work . As a certified Conscious Uncoupling coach in addition to my clinical social work licensure, I am grateful to be able to assist people to heal from current breakups and divorce that are either happening now, or even from decades ago.
In my view, when people are hurting, it is important that they are met with kindness and respect, that they feel seen, heard, and validated, in a non-judgmental manner. My therapeutic approach focuses on cultivating radical acceptance of what is currently happening, and to gently question our deeply held assumptions and beliefs underlying our challenges. We would also need to understand how, when ,and why our beliefs originally came into existence, and to mindfully proceed to rewrite the narratives of our stories in order to better serve ourselves and others.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
