Nguyen Bui, M.Ed., LPC-Associate
Supervised by Crystal Rae Dungan, MA, LPC-S

I'm Nguyen Bui, M.Ed., LPC-Associates, supervised by Crystal Dungan, MA, LPC-S., a dedicated mental health professional with a passion for helping individuals and families achieve their full potential and emotional well-being.  
 

Life's journey is a mix of ups and downs, and we all encounter moments of depression, anxiety, and grief. These emotions are a part of being human, and seeking counseling during these times can make a profound difference. I am here to provide you with a safe space to explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, and find your way back to a place of emotional well-being. I specialized in depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and grief. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and SFBT. Whether you're grappling with the weight of sadness, overwhelmed by anxiety, or mourning a loss, remember that you don't have to face these challenges alone.
 

Specializing in trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression, I draw from various therapeutic techniques to tailor a unique approach to your needs. After all, every client's journey is distinct, and their therapy should reflect that.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Master of Education In Educational Technology Leadership, and a Master of Education in Counseling and Development, and my extensive training includes specializations in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches:

6.

EMDR is a psychotherapy technique that uses bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories

Bilingual and Culturally Sensitive

In addition to my clinical expertise, I am proud to offer counseling services in both Vietnamese and English. Being bilingual allows me to reach a broader and more diverse range of clients, ensuring that language barriers do not stand in the way of seeking help. Cultural sensitivity is a cornerstone of my practice, and I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for individuals from all backgrounds.

Years of Experience in Education

With over 24 years of experience in public education, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that students, educators, and families face. This background has given me valuable insights into the intricacies of personal and academic growth and how they intersect with mental health. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome obstacles, fostering resilience, and promoting mental health awareness. My mission is to empower you to overcome challenges, gain insight into your strengths, and work toward a happier and more fulfilling life. If you're ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment. Together, we can navigate the path to healing, personal growth, and emotional well-being. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to accompanying you on this transformative journey.
