My skillsets vary as I have experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Hi, my name is Quynh Pham, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was born in Vietnam and came to America when I was 12 years old. I was inspired to step out of my comfort zone and adapt not only to a new language but also to the cultural shift. This challenging experience taught me to respect and connect well with people from all backgrounds. I value the quality time I spend with friends and family who I love. I enjoy traveling, cooking, and exploring the culinary world because I believe a hearty dish brings everyone together.

Hi, my name is Vi! I hold different identities as a woman of color, an immigrant from Việt Nam, and a former international student. Through my healing journey, I instantly learned clinicians with similar identities & cultural backgrounds who could fully facilitate a space of growth in my identity as an Asian immigrant woman were lacking. This disheartening experience fueled my passion to provide a space to highlight and honor immigrant and API experiences through my work. I welcome all clients, particularly young professionals, immigrants, API-identified, as well as folks with identities marked by marginalization and oppression.

I love you, but I don't really get you; I hear this pretty often in the healthiest of relationships, and even more so in intercultural or interfaith ones. I know firsthand how wonderful and rewarding it is–and, at times, how painful and challenging. Maybe you’ve asked each other: “How do we connect again, now that we have kids? What’s changed and why is it affecting our sex life? Are we on the same page about my family? How important is this to you?” Being in love doesn't just take work. It takes understanding and acceptance. It takes holding each other and ourselves accountable for our own growth. Let's relearn each other.

If you are a couple or an individual in a relationship with multiple cultural backgrounds you may even have additional challenges. Some of these challenges can include different values and beliefs, frequent misunderstandings, and missed opportunities for connection. Sometimes we can naturally fall into patterns of unhelpful communication.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
