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.

Just a heads up—I’m in the Mountain Time Zone, which runs one hour ahead of Arizona until the fall. For example, if you see a 2:00 time slot available, that would be 1:00 Arizona time.

After battling addiction for 30 years, my own recovery journey inspired me to become a therapist. With 14 1/2 years of sobriety, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to the work I do. While my initial focus was supporting individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders, my practice has since expanded to include helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, relationship challenges, codependency, and more.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside others on their path to healing, believing that with determination and the right support, meaningful change is always possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and ongoing growth—I continuously pursue education and training to stay current with the most effective practices in the field. Outside of my work, I enjoy mindfulness, exercise, spending time outdoors, and staying connected with family and friends. My passion for this work shines through in every client interaction, and I strive to be a source of hope, encouragement, and resilience for those I serve.
