I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and come from a background of 17 years in healthcare. My approach to care is holistic, compassionate, and grounded in understanding each person’s story. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, loss, and chronic conditions to name a few. I’m especially passionate about supporting Native American communities.

Clients often describe me as warm, patient, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to take steps toward lasting mental wellness.

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.
