Darren Nguyen

Darren Nguyen

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tucson, AZ


Hello and welcome! my name is Darren Nguyen (Duy), I'm currently only taking new clients for individual therapy, not couple and family therapy. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Mental Health Counseling from the University of Arizona and have experience working in a community mental health clinic, supporting individuals facing a range of emotional and psychological struggles. Growing up in two different cultures, I understand how cultural influences shape identity, values, and personal experiences, allowing me to provide culturally responsive care that acknowledges the intersection of mental health and cultural background. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder, and attachment-related concerns using a person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach. Integrating evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, DBT, PRT and somatic therapy, I help clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build a life aligned with their values. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, self-doubt, or emotional distress, I am here to provide compassionate guidance and effective therapeutic strategies tailored to your unique journey.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

Five years ago, I started doing this work because I believe that most people are not broken — they're just carrying too much without enough support. I bring that conviction into every session. My style is honest and warm, with a side of humor when the moment calls for it, because therapy doesn't have to feel like a deposition. I'm an Arizona LCSW trained at Arizona State University, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, women's mental health, and the relationship challenges that tend to show up in the middle of all of the above. I offer virtual sessions across Arizona through Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health — so getting started is usually simpler than people expect. If you've been putting it off, I'm glad you're here.

I have been a nurse for several years and recently became a Psychiatric NP. I combine my past experience with current knowledge to delivering empathetic, patient-centered care through therapeutic communication and shared decision-making.

I believe progress happens when people feel safe, heard, and respected, not rushed or judged. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
