// We're Here

Therapists in Dublin are here to help so you don't have to do it alone.

Sometimes people reach out knowing exactly what they need. Most people don’t. You may just know that you’re overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break on your own.

You can't turn your brain off after work, even when you're exhausted

Your body is tired, but your mind keeps going. Work stress, overthinking, pressure, and constant mental noise can make it hard to truly rest or feel present.

You and your partner love each other but keep getting stuck in the same place

The same arguments keep happening. Communication feels harder than it used to, and even small conversations can turn into distance, frustration, or shutdown.

You've been carrying anxiety quietly for so long it just feels normal now

You’re functioning, showing up, and getting through the day — but underneath it all, you feel tense, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or constantly on edge.

You're high-performing at work but running on empty underneath

From the outside, it looks like you’re doing well. Internally, you may feel burned out, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how long you can keep pushing at this pace.

You've tried anxiety and depression therapy in Dublin before and it didn't really help — but you're willing to try again

Not every therapy experience, whether anxiety therapy or depression therapy in Dublin, feels personal, helpful, or effective. Sometimes the right fit, approach, and relationship make all the difference.

//SERVICES

Ways we can help

Therapy and coaching are not one-size-fits-all. Some people need support slowing down and processing what they’re carrying. Others want help rebuilding connection, improving communication, or navigating stress that never fully turns off.

Anxiety Therapy in Dublin, CA

When your mind feels constantly busy, emotionally heavy, or difficult to quiet down, it can affect every part of your life, including work, sleep, relationships, and your ability to feel grounded.

Couples Counseling in Dublin, CA

You may feel disconnected, emotionally distant, or stuck in the same conversations over and over. Therapy helps you slow down the cycle and rebuild connection in a healthier way.

EMDR Therapy in Dublin, CA

If past experiences keep showing up in your present, EMDR can help. It’s a research-supported approach that works with your nervous system to process what talk therapy alone sometimes can’t reach.

Depression Therapy in Dublin, CA

Low mood, emotional numbness, and a loss of motivation can make it hard to show up. Depression therapy helps you understand what is underneath it and start moving forward again.

//ABOUT THE PRACTICE

A therapy practice built for the way you actually live

At BalanceHour Therapy, we work with individuals and couples who are carrying more than most people realize. Some come looking for anxiety therapy in Dublin after years of managing stress alone. Some are dealing with burnout, emotional exhaustion, or relationship strain that has been building quietly beneath the surface. Others come looking for couples therapy in Dublin after months of trying to fix things on their own.

Dr. Timothy J. Nguyen is the lead licensed psychologist (PSY35954) and lead licensed therapist (LCSW101591) of the practice. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply human. We believe therapy should feel supportive without feeling clinical or impersonal. Rather than forcing people into a one-size-fits-all process, we focus on understanding your experience and helping you create meaningful change that fits your real life.

We intentionally serve the Tri-Valley because we understand the unique pressures that come with living and working in the Bay Area. Many of the people we work with are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, leaders, or couples trying to hold everything together while feeling overwhelmed underneath.

Our therapists in Dublin work with clients from across the Tri-Valley including Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Livermore, offering a space to step out of survival mode, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more clarity, balance, and support.

We offer a range of services including anxiety therapy, depression therapy, couples therapy, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Dublin, CA. Whether you’re navigating personal stress, relationship challenges, or trauma, our therapists work with you to find an approach that fits your life. Both in-person and virtual options are available.

 

Yes. We work with couples at all stages — from early disconnection to long-standing conflict or considering separation. Our couples therapy in Dublin draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most research-supported approaches for rebuilding trust, communication, and closeness. Sessions are available in person at our Dublin office and virtually throughout California.

 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy most commonly used to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing memories. Our therapists offer EMDR at our Dublin, CA location as part of an individualized treatment plan. It can be particularly effective for people who feel stuck despite having tried just talk therapy in the past.

 

Anxiety therapy at BalanceHour typically combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches to help you understand what is driving the anxiety, not just manage the symptoms. Sessions are 45 minutes, available in person at our Dublin office or virtually across California. Most clients begin to notice a shift within the first several sessions, though the full course of treatment varies depending on how long the anxiety has been present and what is underneath it. The first step is a free 10-minute call to figure out whether this is the right fit for you.

 

Yes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the core approaches our therapists use for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. CBT helps you identify the thought patterns and behaviors keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to shift them. It can be used on its own or integrated with other modalities depending on what works best for you.

 

Our Dublin practice is led by Dr. Timothy J. Nguyen, a Licensed Psychologist with advanced training in EFT couples therapy (ICEEFT trained) and professional coaching (ICF PCC credentialed). We combine clinical depth with a warm, non-judgmental approach — and we specifically serve the Tri-Valley because we understand the pressures that come with this community. We’re not a general directory or a large group practice.

 

Yes. In addition to in-person therapy in Dublin, we offer secure virtual therapy and coaching sessions to clients anywhere in California. Virtual appointments provide flexibility for busy professionals, couples, and individuals who prefer meeting from home or while traveling.

We are currently accepting new clients, and most first appointments are available within 7 business days of reaching out. Availability may vary slightly depending on scheduling needs and whether you are seeking individual therapy, couples therapy, or coaching.

BalanceHour Therapy is a private pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. However, we provide superbills after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan and benefits.
