Dorian Truong, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dorian!

I work with adults of all ages to help manage anxiety and depression. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help my clients progress, overcome challenges, and start feeling better.

My focus

I work with adults of all ages facing a variety of challenges, including life changes, stress, anxiety, and depression. I help my clients navigate these issues in a supportive environment and make steps towards their treatment goals.

My approach

My approach to therapy depends on the specific needs of my clients. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) with my clients to build shared understanding, strengthen resilience, and find solutions.

My communication style

My communication style is rooted in empathy. I am calm, personable, and dedicated to understanding the needs of my clients. I want my clients to be comfortable and able to share their thoughts and feelings freely without judgement.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe mental health is just as important as physical health. I enjoy helping people, and it is gratifying for me to see my clients make progress and becoming the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

We will work together to help define what you want to accomplish in our time together. Therapy is a supportive place for us to fully explore your needs and aspirations. Together, we will make progress towards your therapeutic goals.

Our first session

The first session is about building an initial connection and establishing a therapeutic alliance. We will discuss your needs, hopes, and any challenges you're facing, creating a foundation for our work together.
