More About Minh-Trang
In your therapy sessions, Minh strives to create a safe space to help work with you to organize and understand your thoughts and emotions— whilst building a healthy relationship with yourself to navigate complex relationships in your life. In addition, her aim is to support you to build a stronger connection to self to feel integrated, and build the trust and confidence to live an authentic life. Her practice is influenced by the belief that with compassion, non-judgment and curiosity, we have the ability to regain control of how we navigate our experiences.
Minh has worked with women from many different life transitions and circumstances. She has over 15 years of experience supporting families with legal issues, health and education, Power of Attorney for older adults, child-rearing, domestic violence, children with disabilities, women’s issues, elder care and elder abuse, immigration and settlement support.
She is passionate in supporting women who have recently immigrated to a new country to learn about available opportunities and support/empower them to reach their goals.
As a Vietnamese-speaking therapist, Minh has a great love for working with visible minority women, seniors, children and families. Her approach offers a balance in skill development and exploration of the self. Her practice utilizes strength-based, mindfulness-based, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), family systems, and nature-based clinical interventions. There are many variables that often contribute to a presenting concern, such as mental health, past trauma, and lived experiences of an individual. She is very passionate about seeing and understanding the whole picture.
In Minh’s free time, she enjoys taking photos, hiking, gardening, practicing Tai Chi and playing Chinese chess. In addition, Minh likes to meet people from different cultural or diverse backgrounds as she believes this is the best way to learn a new culture and develop new skills and mindsets.
