Clinic Director & Clinical Psychologist

Hien Nguyen

Starting therapy can feel daunting — and Hien understands this deeply. She knows that meaningful therapy begins with trust, safety, and a genuine human connection. That belief has guided her work since founding Mood & Mind Psychology nearly a decade ago and continues to shape everything she does.

As a clinical psychologist based in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Hien offers a calm, compassionate, and grounded approach to therapy. She prioritises connection and ensures that clients feel respected, understood, and genuinely supported. She holds space for the complex, painful, and messy parts of healing without judgment or pressure. She will guide you when you don’t have the right words, a clear plan, or feel directionless in life. Therapy with Hien is about working at your pace, building steadiness, and supporting real, lasting change over time. 

Hien has extensive experience supporting adults with complex trauma, C-PTSD, long-standing emotional wounds, substance use challenges, and recovery from difficult life experiences. She understands the heavy weight of feeling stuck in patterns you want to change, the pain of unmet attachment needs, and the grief that can come from not having the family or support everyone deserves.

Whether you’re seeking therapy for trauma, emotional wellbeing (from burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict), substance use issues, or simply feel that something needs to shift, you are in safe hands with Hien.
