Hi! I am Linda Nguyen, a LCSW, and obtained a Doctor of Social Work from USC. My focus is on supporting people through depression, anxiety, trauma, and life’s tough stressors. I’m here to walk alongside you, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts as we go. Working with me feels like having a steady companion on your journey—someone who’s there to listen deeply and lift up your strengths, even when you can’t see them yourself. You’ll feel heard and understood, with space to explore what’s heavy without feeling pushed. You’ll leave feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful, and never alone in it.
