Jen Nguyen, LMHC

Education: MA, Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education, University of Colorado – Denver

How I work with students: I believe therapy is dynamic and my style is collaborative and centered around meeting students where they are at. I utilize an integrated model where I draw inspiration from evidence based therapies including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I consider your experiences around cultural, upbringing, and trauma that have shaped you to who you are today. My style is collaborative, direct, and empathetic to help you explore your feelings and help you develop new approaches or ways of thinking.

Professional interests: I have many professional interests and these are a few top of mind: multicultural issues, stress, personal growth, imposter syndrome, oppression, interpersonal issues, anxiety, and self-worth. 

Approach to wellness: I find my wellness comes from connecting with my family and friends, trying new recipes, being outside (riding my bike or camping), and any arts and crafts.

Languages: English (fluent) and Cantonese (conversationally fluent)

Jen holds Let’s Talk for Health Science Schools.

Let’s Talk is a program that connects UW students with support from experienced counselors from the Counseling Center without an appointment.

Counselors hold drop-in hours via videoconference to provide insight, solutions and information about other resources. Let’s Talk drop-in visits are free, confidential and there is no appointment necessary. Jen hold’s these for the School of Public Health, School of Dentistry, and School of Pharmacy. 

Let’s Talk offers informal consultation – it is not a substitute for regular therapy, counseling or psychiatric care.
