My name is Phuong Tran (Teresa), and I am a dedicated practitioner specializing in counseling, psychotherapy, supervision, training, lecturing, and spiritual care. With years of valuable experience, I have come to recognize the profound interconnections between the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of our lives. My approach is firmly grounded in the core values of person-centered care, respect, integrity, dignity, compassion, and holistic well-being. I firmly believe that these values are pivotal in establishing a safe and nurturing environment conducive to personal growth and profound healing.
I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese (native) and have accumulated over 12 years of experience as a psychologist, counselor, and psychotherapist in Vietnam. My professional journey has afforded me the privilege of working with diverse clients, spanning children, youth, adults, couples, and families from various cultural backgrounds.
My expertise spans a wide spectrum of settings, including public mental health, schools, general hospitals, psychological counselling centers, psychotherapy centers, Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, private practice, psycho-oncology, palliative care, and hospice care.

These certifications highlight my ability to offer empathetic and compassionate care, making me a valuable resource for individuals facing diverse challenges, including chronic diseases and complex family dynamics. My ability to tailor support to each person’s unique circumstances is a testament to my commitment to personalized care.
My holistic approach extends to vital areas such as grief, mental health issues, and relationship difficulties within counseling, psychotherapy, and spiritual care services. My dedication to well-being is further evidenced by certifications in Child, Youth, and Family Intervention, Disability Support, School Psychology, and Palliative Care.

Life’s challenges can take various forms – from the emotional to the spiritual, and everything in between. My integrated approach to care recognizes that true well-being involves nurturing every aspect of your being.

Each individual’s story is unique, and so too are the solutions that will lead to healing. My approach is centered on your needs, your strengths, and your aspirations. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will work together to create a road-map that guides you towards a place of strength, resilience, and well-being.
