Elizabeth Nguyen

Therapist

Virtual • California


I hold space for individuals, couples, and families to grow into the versions of themselves that are anchored in self trust, adaptable to life's shifts, and empowered to author their own stories. When intrusive thoughts, physical restlessness, or underlying dread take hold, it can feel like being swept into a repetitive cycle of self doubt and preoccupation. It is a pattern that steals your energy, pulling you away from the present moment and weakening your self trust.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

Therapist

I believe that the best therapy comes from genuine human connection. I'm a father of two, a lifelong surfer, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who understands that life is full of challenges, transitions, and opportunities for growth. Being a dad has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of showing up consistently for the people we love. Surfing has taught me resilience, mindfulness, and how to adapt when life doesn't go according to plan. I bring those same values into the therapy room, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, or striving to perform at your best, my goal is to help you build the confidence, insight, and skills needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

Hi, I am Cheyenne, an LCSW who believes therapy doesn't have to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. With several years of experience supporting youth, parents and families, I help clients navigate trauma, maternal mental health challenges, ADHD, anxiety and the often overwhelming stress of everyday life. If you're in the thick of parenting, navigating your teen years or simply feeling stretched too thin, you don't have to figure it out alone.
