Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/her

Ethnicity: Vietnamese

Service Language(s): English

My name is Celestie Nguyen (she/her), and I am a queer, first-generation woman of colour with my heart in my hands and a love for buying new books before I can finish my current ones. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), and earned my MSW from Columbia University’s School of Social Work. I am deeply committed to practicing from an anti-capitalist and anti-oppressive lens, and supporting clients onwards in their expansive journey of mental health.

My work is rooted in social justice practices, and is heavily informed by my belief that healing and growth comes from truly seeing ourselves and embracing the parts within that we may turn away from. I view therapy as a collaborative process, which makes you my ever-knowing teammate! I value curiosity, compassion, and safety in our space together, and will actively work to decolonize mental health in all aspects of our work.

No matter what you are going through or where you’ve been, you deserve to be here. Allowing yourself to embrace your flaws will allow you to see the imperfection in our communities, and the humanity that is so deeply rooted within yourself. There are no bad parts of you. The abundance of who you are and what surrounds you is worth loving. You are magic and messy and beautiful, and together, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work!
