ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Minh Nguyen and I am a double boarded child and adult psychiatrist. I offer virtual appointments in both CA and CO as well as in-person appointments in Boulder, CO.
From my earliest years, I've been keenly attuned to my emotions. This fueled my curiosity in the human experience and ignited my passion for forming meaningful connection with others. I pursued a career in psychiatry- going to medical school, completing residency in adult psychiatry and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.
At 30 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Being able to accurately label my past experiences fundamentally shifted my self perception, allowing me to accept my differences and heal from a life time of self judgement. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to diagnosing and treating all the expressions of neurodivergence with a special passion for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Neurodivergence Is Often Missed
The vast spectrum of neurodivergence is what makes diagnosis so difficult to recognize. Every individual has a unique blend and expression that can sometimes seem like personality quirks or preferences. Many people learn to accommodate or mask their symptoms well, and many go their entire lives without ever knowing why they feel different. But with appropriate expertise, discerning signs and symptoms is possible.
Diagnosis Is The First Step
But with appropriate expertise, discerning signs and symptoms is possible. An integral part is having someone who takes the time to listen, identify patterns and understand motivations. Diagnosis is the first major step in understanding yourself, then comes the work of healing from the pain of your past narratives, building self compassion and accepting your differences. This kind of self actualization is the only way to live your fullest and most authentic life.
