Alyson Nguyen

I provide compassionate, comprehensive support to clients ranging from pre-teens to older adults from all backgrounds. I am here for you as you navigate life challenges across all life stages, with specialized support for traumatic experiences, crisis, grief and loss, addictions, and complex life transitions.

As an Indigenous woman, my approach is deeply informed by Indigenous ways of knowing, holistic-care, relational approach, psycho-spiritual understanding, and providing a culturally safe environment. I prioritize cultural responsiveness and honor the diversity of every individual I work with. I am deeply committed to social justice and to creating a completely affirming, inclusive, and safe space. I am a proud ally who actively supports LGBTIQ+ clients and their families.

I enjoy listening to music of all genres, attending live shows, watching movies, singing, reading, research, weight training, going out to eat--especially Pho, enjoying artisan coffees, and my favorite of all, spending time re-connecting in nature with my Ohana.
