Kelle Huong Phan, DNP, RN, NNP-BC, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) | Bilingual – English & Vietnamese

With over 20 years of nursing experience caring for patients across the lifespan—from neonatal and pediatric care to maternal and geriatric health—I bring a compassionate, holistic approach to mental health treatment. My clinical foundation is deeply rooted in maternal and neonatal care, which has shaped my strong passion for women’s mental health, wellness, and life-stage–specific support.

As a first-generation Vietnamese American and a fluent Vietnamese speaker, I have a deep understanding of the cultural values, generational expectations, and stigma that can make seeking mental health care challenging within the Vietnamese community. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported—particularly those who prefer to receive care in their native language or from a provider who shares their cultural background.

My approach integrates evidence-based psychiatric care with empathy, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s lived experience. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships and empower clients to achieve emotional balance, resilience, and overall well-being.

If you are seeking compassionate mental health support and value working with a Vietnamese-speaking specialist who combines clinical expertise with cultural understanding, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and wellness.

Với hơn 20 năm kinh nghiệm trong ngành điều dưỡng, chăm sóc bệnh nhân ở mọi giai đoạn của cuộc đời—từ chăm sóc trẻ sơ sinh và nhi khoa đến sức khỏe phụ nữ mang thai và người cao tuổi—tôi mang đến một phương pháp điều trị sức khỏe tâm thần đầy từ bi và toàn diện. Nền tảng chuyên môn của tôi được xây dựng vững chắc từ lĩnh vực chăm sóc sản khoa và trẻ sơ sinh, điều này đã hình thành niềm đam mê sâu sắc của tôi đối với sức khỏe tâm thần của phụ nữ, chăm sóc sức khỏe tổng thể, và hỗ trợ phù hợp với từng giai đoạn của cuộc đời.

Là một người Mỹ gốc Việt thế hệ đầu tiên và nói tiếng Việt lưu loát, tôi có sự thấu hiểu sâu sắc về các giá trị văn hóa, kỳ vọng giữa các thế hệ, cũng như sự kỳ thị liên quan đến sức khỏe tâm thần—những yếu tố có thể khiến việc tìm kiếm sự hỗ trợ tâm lý trở nên khó khăn trong cộng đồng người Việt. Tôi cam kết tạo ra một môi trường an toàn, tôn trọng và nhạy cảm về văn hóa, nơi khách hàng cảm thấy được lắng nghe, thấu hiểu và hỗ trợ—đặc biệt là những người mong muốn nhận sự chăm sóc bằng ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ hoặc từ một chuyên gia hiểu rõ nền tảng văn hóa của họ.

Phương pháp làm việc của tôi kết hợp các phương pháp điều trị tâm thần dựa trên bằng chứng khoa học với sự đồng cảm, hợp tác và tôn trọng trải nghiệm riêng của mỗi cá nhân. Tôi luôn nỗ lực xây dựng mối quan hệ trị liệu vững chắc và hỗ trợ khách hàng đạt được sự cân bằng cảm xúc, khả năng phục hồi tinh thần và sức khỏe toàn diện.

Nếu bạn đang tìm kiếm sự hỗ trợ về sức khỏe tâm thần với sự thấu hiểu và lòng nhân ái, và mong muốn làm việc với một chuyên gia nói tiếng Việt kết hợp giữa chuyên môn lâm sàng và sự hiểu biết văn hóa, tôi rất vinh dự được đồng hành cùng bạn trên hành trình chữa lành và phát triển sức khỏe tinh thần.
