Nancy Phung-Smith

I am a trauma-attuned therapist committed to healing that honors your full sense of Self — your body, your lineage, your relationships, your inner world, and the parts of you that have worked so hard to protect you. Grounded in a systems lens, I recognize that who we are is shaped in relationship — and that healing unfolds there, too.

My work centers on more than the symptoms. It is about understanding the why — the roots of your pain, the patterns your system learned to survive, and the cultural and intergenerational forces that shaped your story. As a BIPOC therapist, I honor the reality that healing is not neutral. It is decolonizing. It is reclamation. It is a coming home to the Self that lives beneath survival strategies, shame, & inherited burdens.

EMDR & IFS parts work is foundational to my approach. I believe each of your parts carries wisdom, and that your Self — the grounded, compassionate core of who you are — is the true guide in your healing. My role is to slow down, attune, and help you reconnect to your story — so your system feels safe enough to soften, release, reorganize, and heal.

Sessions with me are intentional and relational; each one builds upon the last with care and purpose. I integrate EMDR, somatic regulation, and parts work in a way that allows your mind and body to communicate, feel witnessed, and move toward integration at a pace that honors you.

I also hold close the truth that therapists must continuously do our own work. I am committed to expanding, unlearning, deepening, and staying connected — for myself, for my clients, and for the consultees I support in EMDR and trauma-informed practice. This work asks us to grow, to reflect, and to show up with integrity, and I take that responsibility to heart.

If you are seeking therapy that is both clinically grounded & spiritually rich — work that moves beyond symptom management into true connection with Self — I would be honored to walk that path with you. Together, we will create space for clarity, wholeness, and profound healing.
