Meet Amy Golden, LCSW, ACM

As a licensed clinical social worker and first-generation Vietnamese American, I bring both deep professional expertise and personal understanding to my practice. I earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from the USC School of Social Work and have spent over 10 years working in healthcare and mental health.

Culturally attuned counseling for your lived experience

Therapy that honors your culture, history, and values while helping you navigate emotional needs, relationships, and life transitions with compassion.

I offer virtual one-on-one therapy for adults in California, providing confidential and client-centered care and support to explore anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, intergenerational dynamics, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Each session draws from evidence-based approaches that I tailor to your needs.


A neatly arranged therapy workspace centered around an open, linen-bound journal resting on a smooth oak desk, its cream pages filled with softly sketched geometric shapes and flowing lines instead of text, symbolizing thoughts and emotions. Around it, a small ceramic cup of herbal tea, a sand-filled hourglass, and a single jade plant in a matte white pot create a calm vignette. Late afternoon natural light filters in from an unseen window to the left, casting gentle, elongated shadows and a warm glow across the scene. Photographic realism at eye level with a shallow depth of field keeps the journal in crisp focus while the background dissolves into a soft blur, evoking a grounded, sophisticated, and reflective atmosphere for mental health work.
