About Me

My journey in the field of psychology has been driven by a profound desire to understand and improve the mental well-being of individuals, particularly older adults.

My educational background includes rigorous training and qualifications in both neuropsychology and geropsychology. This dual specialization equips me with a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between cognitive function and emotional health in the aging population.

In my practice, I take a holistic and compassionate approach to help individuals navigate the cognitive challenges that can arise with aging. Whether it's conducting detailed neuropsychological assessments to pinpoint cognitive strengths and areas needing support or offering therapeutic interventions to enhance emotional resilience, I am dedicated to promoting the overall mental health of older adults.

Beyond my clinical work, I actively contribute to the advancement of these fields through ongoing research endeavors. My commitment to staying at the forefront of psychological research ensures that I can provide the best possible care and insights to my patients and the broader community.

More About My Work

Consulting and Related Relationships

At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Nguyen has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
