JOSIE NGUYEN

Welcome! I’m Josie Nguyen, a dedicated Doctoral Practicum Therapist currently under the expert supervision of Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Rumana Mansur and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Feliciana Guanzon. I am currently in my third year as a Clinical Psychology PsyD student at Capella University.
 

With over five years of experience as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, I bring a robust background in evidence-based interventions, deeply committed to bolstering individuals’ mental health and overall well-being across Orange County, CA. My diverse experience encompasses working with adults, young adults, adolescents, and children providing personalized interventions within various settings.
 

As a certified provider of the UCLA PEERS® curriculum, I specialize in imparting critical social skills to adolescents, helping them forge meaningful relationships and effectively navigate social challenges. In my practicum role, I strive to deliver compassionate and culturally sensitive care, empowering individuals to surmount obstacles and attain personal growth.
 

In addition to therapy, I have extensive experience in psychological and developmental assessments. I have conducted evaluations utilizing a range of standardized measures, including:

​

• Developmental Assessments: Developmental Assessment of Young Children-Second Edition (DAYC-2)

• Adaptive Functioning Assessments: Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Vineland-3), Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS)

• Social-Emotional & Social Skills Assessments: Social Skills Improvement System Social-Emotional Learning (SSIS SEL)
   

My clinical approach centers on fostering a safe, nurturing therapeutic environment, promoting resilience, self-awareness, and an enhanced quality of life for individuals from all walks of life. Let’s work together to achieve your milestones and ensure your mental well-being flourishes.
