Hoai-Thu Truong, PhD

Hoai-Thu Truong a Certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor, currently based in France. She has been licensed as a psychologist in California since 2004, and has been involved in AEDP since 2012.  In addition to AEDP her background includes psychodynamic, Jungian and psychoanalytic approaches to psychotherapy. Prior to becoming a clinical psychologist, Hoai-Thu had a 20-year career in biochemistry and biophysics (Biophysics PhD from Stanford University). With her American, French and Vietnamese cultural roots she is fascinated by issues of culture, and how culture shapes our view of ourselves and of the world and what we take for granted; she brings this experience into her clinical and supervision work. In her private practice in California she worked with (among others) Silicon Valley professionals, people with international backgrounds and university students, in areas including trauma, multicultural issues, and spirituality and religion.  She provides therapy in both English and French.

She currently lives in France and is semi-retired. She delights in providing training, consultation and AEDP supervision in English and in French to licensed clinicians.  She sees her role as a supervisor to not just teach AEDP therapy, its perspectives and interventions, as well as integration with other forms of treatment,  but also to facilitate the professional development of her supervisees. Her goal is that each supervisee-clinician find their particular therapy style, in their own voice.
