I feel incredibly fortunate to contribute to the mental health field, where prioritizing mental well-being is neither shameful nor taboo. Our bodies inherently safeguard our most crucial organ: the brain. It serves as the powerhouse for the entire body, and its well-being is as vital as that of our heart, pancreas, or lungs. My journey in the mental health field began as a social worker and psychotherapist. Over time, I evolved into a physician assistant, equipped to prescribe medications and offer comprehensive medical care. To enhance my capabilities, I pursued and attained additional certification in psychiatry

Linh Tran believes that mental health has been an undervalued area of medicine, yet it is so vital to our overall function and well being. Growing up within a culture where mental health was, and still is, suppressed, and having helped individuals from different walks of life through their stress, anxiety, and depression, she knew she wanted to work in a field where she could provide high-quality care to those needing it most and help make a positive difference on their outlook.

Patients are usually looking for relief from overwhelming symptoms, a deeper understanding of their emotions, and a pathway to healing. Their ultimate goal is not just survival but to thrive—to rediscover stability, boost self-esteem, and reclaim a life filled with purpose and joy.

I am a psychiatrist who works primarily through insight-oriented psychotherapy. I treat patients who are missing a sense of balance, meaning, connection, or purpose in their lives, who feel stuck with regard to career, romance, or family, who notice concerning, repetitive, or self-destructive patterns in relationships, mental attitudes, or behavior, and who struggle with the lingering effects of abuse, neglect, or other challenging life experiences. My expertise in psychotherapy and the medical practice of psychiatry enables me to offer thoughtful, comprehensive and individualized treatment, which may or may not include medication.

I love helping clients commit to their health. From my years of work as a psychiatrist, I understand the impact of medical and social factors on a person’s mental well-being. I also appreciate how scary new ventures can be and that for some people, prioritizing one’s health can feel unfamiliar. My work focuses on people experiencing late adulthood transitions, work or school-related stressors, social isolation, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic illness, among other circumstances. I have a collaborative approach aimed at empowering clients and providing a safe space for healing.
