// 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.

//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.

Teen & Child Therapy Near You

Your teenager or preteen doesn’t have to explain themselves to get support. Individual therapy gives them a space that’s actually theirs — to work through anxiety, difficult emotions, identity questions, or the pressure of academic and social life.

ADHD Therapy Near You

ADHD affects far more than focus. For teens, it shapes self-esteem, relationships, and how they experience school every day. ADHD therapy nearby provides behavioral and emotional tools that medication alone doesn’t address.

Parenting Support Near You

Sometimes the most effective way to help your teen is to work with the whole family dynamic. We support parents with communication tools, boundary-setting, and a clearer understanding of what your child actually needs from you.

//ABOUT THE PRACTICE

A therapy practice built for positive impact

At BalanceHour Therapy, we specialize in child and teen therapy for preteens and teenagers ages 10 and up across the Tri-Valley. Led by Dr. Timothy J. Nguyen, our approach is warm, collaborative, and designed to meet young people where they actually are — not where a clinical model says they should be.

We understand that adolescence in the Bay Area comes with its own specific pressures: academic performance, college anxiety, social dynamics, family stress, and identity questions that don’t have easy answers. Therapy gives your teen a space outside the family dynamic to work through what they’re carrying — and gives parents a clearer picture of how to help.

We serve families in Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, Danville, and Castro Valley, with in-person sessions at our Dublin office and virtual therapy available anywhere in California.

// Client Stories

Real experiences from people across the Tri-Valley

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things quietly for a long time. These stories reflect the kind of support, clarity, and meaningful change people often experience through therapy and coaching at BalanceHour Therapy.

“I started seeing Dr. Nguyen first because I didn’t know how to reach my teenager anymore. He created space without pressure and eventually my teen agreed to come to therapy. That’s when they came out and when we learned they had been considering suicide. Dr. Nguyen held space for us and my teen is a now a happy adult and we actually talk. I don’t know what would have happened if we didn’t meet Dr. Nguyen when we did.”

- Parent of Former Teen, Dublin, CA

“My son was staying out past curfew, fighting with us, arguing with his friends, and started changing from his happy self into a very negative person. We reached out to find help for anger management, but what we got in return was night and day. After a few months with Dr. Tim, our son started helping around the house without being asked, he was laughing with us again, we weren’t fighting like we used to, and peace has finally been restored.”

- Parents of Former Teen, Danville, CA

“Our son started with Dr. Tim after his grades dropped, we became disconnected, and he stopped going to school. Dr. Tim brought us into the session between individual appointments and that’s when we finally understood what our son was carrying. We’re connected again and we put a stop to the bullying after contacting the school.”

How do I find a counselor for my teenager near me?

Start with a free 10-minute call. You don’t need to know exactly what your teen needs and that’s what the first conversation is for. We’ll help you understand what kind of support makes the most sense and whether we’re the right fit.

Will my teenager actually talk in therapy?

This is the most common concern parents have.

Dr. Nguyen is experienced working with teens who have had bad experiences with therapy before.

Do you offer virtual sessions for teens?

Yes. Many teens actually prefer virtual therapy because they can attend from their own space. Virtual sessions are available to anyone in California and are just as effective as in-person for most presenting concerns.
