DUONG VO

Duong holds a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston, USA, and has gained experience from diverse settings in the U.S. and Vietnam. That allowed her to engage with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, deepening her understanding of the unique challenges individuals face in different contexts. Her core strength lies in providing counseling to individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault—issues that are widespread yet often hidden. She is committed to creating a safe and compassionate space where clients can begin to heal, rebuild self-worth, and foster healthier relationships. Duong also specializes in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, identity loss, geriatric concerns, and provides couples and marriage counseling. She finds the most rewarding aspect of her work is empowering clients to gain insight into their struggles, overcome obstacles, and build resilience through the therapeutic process. A firm believer in the lasting impact of early life experiences—especially childhood attachments—Duong views these as foundational in shaping current thought and behavior patterns. These patterns can often lead to distorted perceptions and emotional challenges. Trained in trauma-informed therapy, she meets clients where they are, builds strong therapeutic relationships, and helps them process their emotions safely and effectively. Her approach integrates psychodynamic techniques to explore the influence of past experiences, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address present-day thought patterns. She tailors each session to the unique needs of her clients, ensuring a compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based path toward healing and growth.
