Mark Nguyen

Mark Nguyen is a licensed clinical psychologist in California (CA Psychologist #29174) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, addictions, chronic pain, trauma, and behavioral addictions including gambling.

His approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and tailored to each person. He draws on ACT, CBT, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to address both emotional and functional recovery, treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

Mark is warm, attentive, and down-to-earth. He aims to build trust through empathy and active listening while providing honest feedback and practical guidance. Sessions are intended to feel supportive while remaining focused on growth, balancing compassion with accountability so therapy is both healing and productive.

Therapy with Mark is collaborative and goal-focused. Together with each client he creates a personalized plan and works in small, achievable steps to build confidence and lasting change, helping people manage pain, recover from trauma, and live with greater balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

Before his clinical practice, he spent 15 years as a Principal and Director of Special Education and also served as an Assistant Professor in School Psychology. Working closely with students, families, and future clinicians inspired him to become a psychologist and to help others build resilience and reach their full potential.
