Substance Use Therapists in 19081

Life is a journey and on our journey we will experience love, joy, and happiness. We will also encounter pain, loss, suffering and hardship. As a licensed clinical social worker I offer a safe space where you can safely talk about your experiences and feelings. I want to help you trust your own intuition as you talk about your life and make decisions about the direction of it. I am accepting, caring, and supportive. I believe in cultural humility which allows the individual to teach me about their self identity to include their ethnicity, spirituality, sexual identity, and other aspects of their cultural.

While my licensure is listed as Marriage and Family, I primarily provide individual therapy. I work with the age range of 18 to 55. I have a focus in a variety of specialties and have a subspecialty in Substance Use & Addiction, though I cannot provide drug & alcohol counseling for court-appointed therapy.

Hi, my name is Thanh Nguyen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

I provide individual therapy for those struggling with trauma/PTSD, postpartum depression/anxiety, and general depression and anxiety due to life stressors and transitions.

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in mental health, relationships, and addiction recovery. I collaborate with young adults, couples, and families to move beyond seeming impasses and engage fulfilled and connected lives. My approach includes identifying the message behind uncomfortable emotions and problematic behaviors, disconnecting from unhelpful thoughts and self-judgements, and exploring alternative perspectives through use of relatable (and often humorous) analogies.

In the past, clients have described our work together as meaningful, and have found my openness, compassion, and attempts to understand and creatively solve problems refreshing. I believe it is important to work together with clients collaboratively and strive to ensure a level of safety. In my practice, I attempt to understand the whole person, piecing together the many dimensions of clients' issues.

I have successfully treated people struggling with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma/PTSD, loss of a loved one, sexual difficulties, and relationship distress. I work with individuals, couples, and families, with the goal of helping people become more aware of and more comfortable with themselves and others. Life is complex, and I enjoy the challenges of assisting people through their unpredictable journeys. I create a supportive therapeutic environment where my clients feel safe to explore themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

As a Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist, I believe in the power of relationships and am passionate about engaging people in a collaborative, creative process of healing. I am trained to listen for a client's internal sense of knowing, believing that a person naturally wants to grow and heal in ways that we will discover together.

Are you and your significant other constantly arguing? Is your teenager going down the wrong path? Do you feel like everyone is always depending on you? Do you struggle to get out of bed sometimes? Are you afraid of losing your relationship? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, I am here to help. I have experience helping distressed families, working with couples who are breaking up, and improving parent-child relationships. I believe it's important to guide families even-handedly, not taking sides or making people feel guilty.

I believe you will experience me as genuine, curious, and direct. Together, we will challenge old assumptions and create new ways of approaching problems, relationships, and life in general. The work we do in therapy is serious and it is hard; that said, it's tremendously rewarding, and in our work, we will likely find ourselves laughing a lot. Here, you will experience acceptance and connection that I believe will make the relationships in your life easier to navigate and more rewarding.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist! I am very interactive, utilize humor, my own experience, and a lot of mindfulness in my approach. I am trained in yoga and other meditation techniques, and often integrate that background into the therapeutic process. I believe that you are the expert of yourself, and my role is to accompany you in recognizing and owning that. I will help you not only understand why you are suffering, but also learn tools from many different traditions for dealing with life's challenges. I specialize in helping motivated people navigate the challenging changes in life.

Are yearning to deepen relationships, trying to thrive as a working parent, or seeking a way out of self-defeating patterns of behavior? Do you feel misunderstood by a partner and unable to break the cycle of arguments that feel all too familiar? You don’t need to stay stuck. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the adult lifespan, from college students to confident professionals, from new parents to empty-nesters. Together, we will explore how you want to live, love, and work.

Are you a new mom (or even a seasoned mom!) and having difficulty within your role? Motherhood is hard. And your experience as a mother is important. I can help. I have devoted my practice to helping mothers create more satisfying, productive, and peaceful lives. I believe in the healing powers of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to foster a genuine connection with my clients. Our sessions will be interactive and collaborative. I have a great passion for 'helping people help themselves' and work in a participatory manner with my clients. I look forward to being on the journey to wellness with you.

My style of therapy is one of an eclectic approach that allows me to utilize appropriate interventions based on the needs of each person. I have worked with adolescents and adults in residential/crisis treatment centers, colleges, community mental health facilities, and substance use treatment centers. I have experience with clients diagnosed with severe mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, and interpersonal issues. I work with individuals ages 14 and up, who are either coming to therapy for the first time or would like to continue therapy to work on their personal goals.
