Buddhist Therapists in Athens, TX

As a therapist, I specialize in working with highly sensitive individuals, those eager to explore spirituality in depth, teachers, creative minds, and individuals striving to enhance their roles as partners in relationships. My core therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness, shaped by my intensive training in a Buddhist Monastery where I honed my meditation skills and embraced prolonged periods of introspective silence. These experiences have equipped me with the tools to guide others towards a space of joyful self-discovery, facilitating the germination of authentic desires.

Hi there. I’m a Vietnamese-American trauma therapist and EMDR practitioner. I specialize in treating trauma and helping people flourish.

You're trapped, flooded, and hopeless—cluster f-k. The last thing you want to do is drag it out for months or years, talking about it repeatedly once a week for 50 minutes. Unwanted thoughts, knots in your stomach, debilitating social anxiety, and agonizing relationships - all that shit can be cleared like flushing down a commercial-grade toilet rather than in increments. If you have cancer, it only makes sense to surgically remove the cancer cells first before you start a weekly exercise regimen. The same goes for your problems.

Sometimes a person can feel lost and needs help to find their way again. Coping with all of the confusing thoughts, emotions and behaviors with life can be hard. Depression, anxiety, and other emotional disturbances can set in, causing disruptions at work, school, and home. Every individual is unique, thus requiring individualized treatment. I work from a combination of modalities to help clients gain clarity and understanding, so they can lead their best lives.

When you can't connect to people you love, it's painful. It feels like you try to connect, but they get farther away. Life can be hard, and even harder when your past gets in the way of your present and future.

Seasons change and people change. Regardless of age, gender, and status, we all encounter challenges and difficulties throughout different stages in life. I help clients re-discover who they are, reclaim their lives, rebuild relationships that are meaningful to them, restore balance and satisfaction in life, reach insight and problem solve, or get to where they want to be. You determine the nature and amount of change you wish to make. I believe that helping people recognize and hone in their strengths can create new possibilities for action and new directions in life.

You are aching to live a more authentic, fulfilling and empowered life, yet you are struggling to know how to proceed. I get it. I have been there. We build lives on foundations based in old programs, expectations, and beliefs and then when we feel the call for something more, we can feel stuck, anxious, or guilt. The life we built no longer suits us and we need help navigating change as we rebuild. Perhaps a relationship, a career, a midlife awakening (or pandemic) has triggered a longing for something more meaningful or fulfilling. Or maybe, something less- less drama, less stress, less anxiety, less soul sucking.

Stormy and racing thoughts. Emotional pain. Old hurts. Worries about the future. Quick to anger or to run. Behavioral habits blocking the life you want. These are the kinds of life challenges that I specialize in working with using evidence-based methods to help you build the highest expression of YOUR life. YOU are the expert in your life. That being said, like mountain climbers on adjacent mountains, a therapist can help you see terrain on your mountain that you might not be able to see from your position on it. I particularly have specialized in areas around partner violence, anger/aggression, and trauma.
