Nancy Do practices under the supervision of Dr. Marissa Long, PsyD, MAOB

Education:

Nancy earned her master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on family systems, diversity, and faith integration from Azusa Pacific University (APU). She is currently a fifth year doctoral candidate at APU and will soon earn her Psy.D.

Training and Experience:

Nancy enjoys working with marginalized communities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities etc.) and is extremely passionate about providing trauma-informed care, with a specific emphasis on childhood and complex trauma. Nancy is also passionate about mood disorders with specialized knowledge of bipolar disorders, and enjoys working with first generation children of AAPI immigrants. Nancy incorporates both her research and her experience as a first generation child of refugees into her clinical work, helping clients explore the internal conflict that inherently exists as a person raised in two very disparate and often antithetical cultures. She practices as a collaborative, relational therapist and will seek out and incorporate your input on your care. Nancy is interactive in session, strives to create a nurturing and safe space where all versions of your self can be supported. Former clients have often shared that they appreciated and enjoyed Nancy’s warmth and authenticity.

Nancy has trained at a community mental health clinic, in prisons, at a community college, and at a Veterans Affairs hospital. These experiences have exposed her to a variety of populations and mental health issues including: young adults navigating identity issues, school, and life; individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community; those with medical comorbidities and disabilities;  and individuals with various mental health presentations including autism, personality disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; ex-gang members, and sex workers; veterans; victims of all forms of abuse and trauma; persons impacted by systemic oppression and racism. Nancy has worked with clients conducting psychodiagnostic testing. 

Outside of her clinical work, Nancy is a parent to three cats and two large dogs. She enjoys connection and entertainment; as such, she enjoys quality time with friends, family, and her pets, theme parks, board games, mini golf, the arts, and celebrating her favorite holiday, Halloween. Nancy also enjoys philanthropy and volunteers her time as a mentor for a nonprofit organization.
