Licensed Therapist Nhu Truong Expands Bilingual and Friendship Therapy Offerings
The Californer/10354780

TUSTIN, Calif. - Californer -- Nhu Truong, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #133355), announced two updates to her Tustin-based practice: bilingual therapy services offered in Vietnamese, and an expanded focus on her friendship therapy specialty.

The addition of Vietnamese-language sessions is aimed at reducing barriers to mental health care for Vietnamese-speaking individuals and families in Orange County, home to one of the largest Vietnamese American communities in the country. Truong, who is fluent in both English and Vietnamese, says language and cultural fluency can make the difference between someone seeking support and someone going without it.

"So much of healing depends on feeling truly understood," said Nhu Truong, LMFT. "Offering therapy in Vietnamese removes a barrier that keeps too many people from getting the support they deserve, and it lets me meet clients where they are, linguistically and culturally."

Truong is also spotlighting her friendship therapy offering, a specialty still uncommon among therapists, which helps clients navigate friendship loss, conflict, and the evolving role platonic relationships play in emotional well-being. She believes friendships deserve the same intentional care often reserved for romantic or family relationships, and hopes normalizing this kind of support helps more people feel comfortable seeking it out.
