Mrs Khanhi Truong, MSW

My approach is rooted in empathy, kindness, active listening, and a firm belief that therapy is an effective method of treatment. At the heart of my work is a belief in the transformative power of vulnerability, understanding and shared commitment to the process. Together, we will work towards building a deeper understanding of your needs and identify lasting solutions. Life and relationships are complex, but I believe that with the right tools, you can transform even the most difficult situation into opportunities for change, growth and happiness. I adapt my techniques based on a client's needs and circumstances. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques such as cognitive restructuring to challenge negative thought patterns, journaling to track emotions, practicing mindfulness to observe feelings without judgment, using relaxation techniques like deep-breathing and meditation, and learning distress tolerance skills to manage intense emotions effectively. For couples seeking to strengthen emotional connections or improve their relationships, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). The overall goal is to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being. These are all techniques that can be learned and have the potential to improve your moods and overall quality of living.
