I recognize how hard change is and you deserve to thrive. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing independently since 2014 and have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are becoming, therapy can give a supportive place to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward more confidently. I work with adults navigating life transitions in education, career, relationships, family, health and environment, and identity exploration and reinvention and all that comes with learning to adapt. In our work together, you’ll be met warmly through curiosity and acceptance. I’ll help you identify and rewrite self-limiting patterns, build practical self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways to adapt to change, so you can feel more grounded and empowered.

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.
