Dr. Vinh-Son Nguyen

I'm a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who works with patients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on young adults (18-35) and professionals. I believe that mental health is not one-size-fits-all and my goal is to make mental health easier to understand, more approachable, and rooted in each person's lived experience. My approach integrates psychotherapy with lifestyle and nutritional psychiatry, recognizing the powerful role that sleep, movement, diet, and environment play in mental well-being. My work often focuses on those seeking a more holistic, non-medication-first approach to care. I work collaboratively with patients to use the least amount of medication necessary while maximizing overall functioning and quality of life.

I provide integrative psychiatric care for young adults, combining psychotherapy, healthy lifestyle habits such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise, with medication when needed. I have a special interest in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, and cultural identity concerns. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized.

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, your current concerns, and your personal, medical, and family history so I can understand the bigger picture. We'll also talk about what's working well in your life, not just what's been difficult.

By the end of the visit, you'll leave with a better understanding of what's contributing to your symptoms, my initial impressions, and a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your needs, that may include therapy, lifestyle strategies, medication, or a combination of approaches. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clear sense of where we're headed together.
