Today is my 6 Year Private Practice Anniversary! On October 20, 2020 I opened up my private practice called Linda Nguyen Therapy.

Looking back, I remember wanting to leave the clinic I was at and create something of my own, but I was still pre-licensed. So, I worked at the clinic four days a week and saw private practice clients one day a week until I was fully licensed and ready to make the transition. I was able to do my private practice full time starting August 2022.

It took time, patience, and a lot of figuring things out along the way.

Today, I get to provide therapy to my clients, provide consultations with clinicians, and supervise interns. I get to keep learning, questioning, and finding ways to improve myself and the therapy I provide.

This practice is mine. Something I built with intention, care, and dedication. I’m proud of what it has become, but I’m also proud of the clinician I have became.

I never want to stop being curious about how I can do better, show up more thoughtfully, be open to feedback, and provide therapy that feels safe, reassuring, and impactful to individuals who trust me with their experiences.

Building a private practice has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career. I am truly so grateful everyday that this is my job and for the clients I have.

Things I have said to clients this week ❤️

Perinatal mental health can look different for everyone. It can include depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficulty adjusting to parenthood. These experiences are more common than people often realize, but they aren’t always talked about. Taking care of your mental health during pregnancy and after giving birth is essential. It is important to support before it becomes overwhelming.

This week’s schedule!

Having an anxious attachment style doesn’t make you needy, difficult, or bad at relationships. It means you may need a little more reassurance, consistency, or safety. You’re not broken, and you deserve relationships where you feel secure, too.

As a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon, I’m required to complete 40 hours of continuing education every 2 years to maintain my license.

That includes:
• 6 hours of ethics
• 6 hours of cultural competency
• 2 hours focused on su***de risk assessment, treatment & management (starting Jan 1, 2027)!
• 26 additional hours related to clinical practice

And honestly, I’m grateful for the requirement. Continuing education gives me the opportunity to keep learning, challenge what I think I know, and bring new skills and perspectives into my work with clients.
