Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying a heavy load. One thing for sure, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

In my practice, I work extensively with college students, athletes, young adults and adults across various stages of life. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, performance pressure, injury recovery, burnout, and complex questions around identity and self-worth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my core mission is to support you through life's most challenging moments so you can step fully into the best version of yourself. Therapy isn't just about managing symptoms, it’s about discovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating a life that feels authentic and aligned with who you are.

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with many years of experience in healthcare, including primary care, psychiatric mental health, leadership, and wellness-based practice. My background has allowed me to work with individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and medical concerns, and I understand how closely mental health and physical health are connected.

I’m Linh Tran, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years in healthcare and 5 years in advanced practice. I hold both a Master’s and Doctor of Nursing Practice from Columbia University. My work focuses on anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. I’m especially passionate about supporting adolescents, adults, and those navigating the immigrant or bicultural experience.

I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!

I am a bilingual therapist offering therapy in both English and Spanish, and I work with couples, families, adolescents, young adults, and children through many different stages of life. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, so I strive to create a warm, accepting space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, trauma, family concerns, or a difficult season of life, my goal is to help you feel supported as you heal, grow, and work toward the life and relationships you want.

You may have spent years trying to make sense of painful experiences, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in relationships without fully understanding why. Childhood and sexual trauma can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves, experience emotions, and connect with others. You may have learned to survive by putting others first, staying strong, or keeping your feelings hidden. But surviving is not the same as feeling safe, connected, and truly at peace. You deserve the opportunity to heal.

Let's find the words together. You may be carrying more than people realize, whether that's ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or ongoing stress. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Certified Case Manager (CCM), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), with more than 15 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, case management, dialysis, and nephrology. That background helps me see the whole person, including how physical health, medical conditions, and life stressors affect your mental health.

Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized medication management through telehealth.

I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.
