Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I specialize in working with people who grew up in an individualistic or collectivist society, who may experience difficulty with low self-esteem because their feelings have never been validated due to cultural stigma.

Hi, I’m Hieu Tran, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner. With a passion for providing quality patient care, I focus on evidence-based practices to ensure the best outcomes. Whether it's through patient intake screenings, diagnosing mental illnesses, or overseeing psychotropic medications, I bring a compassionate touch to all I do. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience in psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and psychiatric rehabilitation. My background includes working in hospitals, both in-person and via telecare, and even teaching aspiring nurses at California State University Long Beach. I believe in working closely with patients, families, and healthcare teams to deliver coordinated and effective care. I’m committed to my professional growth and regularly stay updated with the latest in medical science and treatment methods. I’m also an excellent problem solver and skilled in managing changing priorities, always putting patient needs first. Whether you’re in need of immediate care or ongoing mental health support, I’m here to help with empathy and a reassuring smile. Let’s work together to get you to a healthier, happier place. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to providing my clients with the highest quality of care and support for their mental health needs.

I have a deep passion for helping others, which led me to begin my nursing career in 2004 at JFK Medical Center as a Nurse Associate. During this time, I earned my RN from Palm Beach State College. With over two decades of experience working as an RN with mental health patients, my passion for mental health has only grown stronger. In 2021, I decided to further my education and pursued a Master of Science in Nursing at Walden University, obtaining my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree. My commitment to helping others extends beyond my local community—I travel to Haiti every year on a mission trip with other healthcare providers, offering care and support to those in need. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: Her goal is to ensure her patients improve and develop a healthier quality of life through evidence-based treatments that tailor to the patient's unique needs. Esther has a distinctive way to connect with individuals and the ability to understand patients' concerns and meet them where they are.
