At Love Your Story Christian Counseling Services, I approach you with empathy, trust building, and collaboration.
Have you ever experienced a sense of feeling trapped? At times, we may find ourselves trapped by negative thoughts and distressing emotions; struggling to break free from them on our own. Many of us have fallen into this cycle of irrational thoughts, painful feelings, and unwanted consequences. I'd like to help you think clearer, navigate emotions, and adapt during difficult situations.

I offer Christian counseling in an inclusive, safe space through virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
Life can be tough and sometimes you find yourself overwhelmed facing challenging relationships, stressful changes, and painful past experiences. It can be difficult to know who to turn to for support and how to hold on to hope. Along the way, you can lose yourself and the ability to connect with those you love, often pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself. All of this can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe there is hope for you to take a step back from it all and learn to build a life you love living.

Hi there, I'm Phuong Nguyen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a therapist, I am passionate about cultivating a safe space for you to examine the challenges and barriers that prevent you from living a joyful life. I hope to use therapy as a tool to help you find healing and growth in your own journey. During my clinical practices, I come to recognize that I work well with a wide age range (children to adults) but I do work best with teenagers to young adults who might be dealing with transitions, figuring out their values/identities, relationship issues, and social pressures.

If you want to understand your situation, thoughts, and feelings, I can help. Most people do not know or understand why they feel like they do or how they got into the place they’re in. Instead, they find dysfunctional ways to distract themselves so they don’t have to feel their pain. They never uncover the root of their problems, find healing, or gain victory over their lives. If you’re having marital/relationship problems, dating disasters, panic attacks, depression, your children are out of control, or you’re frustrated, angry, sad, confused, and lonely— counseling can help you find deep new insights and strategies to change.

Hi I’m Diana Martinez! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW.) For me, therapy is about getting you back to your previous level of functioning prior to developing mental health illness and assisting you in moving to a better, peaceful you. I have spent the past 20 years working as a therapist to do just that. When I’m not practicing therapy, I’m spending time with my husband, adult children, grandbabies, and hanging out with my large extended family. I enjoy brisk walking, watching movies, organizing, and gardening.
