Hi there, I'm Ut Uyen!

I integrate evidence-based therapy with Christian principles to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I help individuals and families find healing and direction.

My focus

I work with adults and teens facing anxiety, depression, and life transitions who are ready to challenge old patterns and grow. My clients often seek both practical tools and spiritual insight. I help them gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and live with renewed purpose.

My approach

My approach is direct, solution-focused, and empowering. I help clients identify thought patterns that keep them stuck and teach practical tools to create real change. Together, we focus on growth, accountability, and building a renewed mindset.

My communication style

My communication style is clear, honest, and encouraging. I provide direct feedback while creating a supportive environment for growth. Clients can expect accountability, compassion, and practical guidance each session.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a counselor grew from a desire to help people heal emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I integrate evidence-based therapy with faith-based principles to bring lasting transformation.

My goals for you

Together, we identify specific goals and focus on measurable progress. I use a direct, solution-focused approach to help clients challenge barriers, stay motivated, and achieve meaningful results.

Our first session

In our first session, I focus on building rapport and a strong therapeutic alliance. We'll discuss your goals, identify what brought you in, and set a clear direction for care. My goal is for you to leave feeling supported, understood, and motivated to begin real change.
