As a person who loves helping people, I will be there for you every step of the way.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with approximately 15 years of experience working with adults. I am also a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in Florida, where I provide supervision and support to counselors entering the profession and developing their clinical skills.I specialize in helping clients navigate OCD, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, academic and work-related concerns, anger management, self-esteem, parenting, grief, and bereavement.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual’s goals, needs, strengths, and challenges. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and other evidence-based approaches to help clients develop practical strategies and create meaningful and sustainable change.
I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative, and engaging environment where clients can explore challenges openly while developing the confidence and skills needed to move forward.

Hello, my name is Sandy Nguyen, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner credentialed by the ANCC. I have been practicing psychiatry for 9 years and have experience treating adult clients with psychiatric conditions, such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, sleep disorder, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD.
I am passionate about providing evidence-based services that treat psychiatric and mental health conditions, and offering treatment services such as psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses, medication management, and psychotherapy.
I am supportive and a good listener. I believe collaboration with a client is crucial. I utilize a holistic approach in treating the mind, body, and spirit as a whole. I recognize that tailoring a treatment plan through patient-centered care using evidence-based practices is essential in helping patients achieve optimal relief.

I have learned that people are far more than their diagnosis, and some of the most meaningful progress happens when they feel truly understood, supported, and empowered.
I have spent my career helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate some of life’s most challenging moments. Whether you’re struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, or a major life transition, I believe mental health care should feel like a partnership, not a transaction. My role is not simply to treat symptoms, but to understand the person behind them, recognize their strengths, and help create a path toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
I take a collaborative, whole-person approach that combines evidence-based treatment with genuine connection. Together, we identify strengths, address barriers to growth, and develop practical strategies to improve emotional wellbeing, relationships, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.
Whatever brings you to treatment, know that you do not have to face it alone. Healing is a process, and I am committed to providing the support, guidance, and encouragement needed to help you move forward with confidence and hope.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Boca Raton therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Boca Raton, FL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
