About
I’m Juliet Tran, LMFT (she/her), and the owner of Anchor & Blossom Therapy. I’m licensed in California (LMFT #110670) and Washington State (MFT.LF.61532389). I’m a second-generation Filipina American, who was born and raised in California.
I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to understanding people — not just what they’re going through, but how their experiences, relationships, and environments shape the way they see themselves.
Education
University of California, San Diego — B.A. in Psychology (2010)
Sonoma State University — M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2013)
Experience
I’ve worked in nonprofit settings, schools, and group practice environments with clients ranging from elementary-aged children to college students and adults. Over time, I found myself especially drawn to supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and the pressure to constantly hold everything together.
I enjoy helping clients make sense of the patterns, pressures, and experiences that have shaped them, while finding healthier ways to cope, communicate more openly, and move through life with a little more ease.
Outside of work
Outside the therapy room, I’m based in Washington State with my husband. You can usually find me baking something new, trying to befriend every neighborhood cat I see, or watching reality TV that is either very good or very questionable.
I love concerts, boba runs, and little road trips to Portland whenever I get the chance.
I also have a soft spot for spooky, eerie things — horror movies, metaphysical topics, tarot, dreamwork, and anything that invites curiosity about what we can and can’t explain.
That curiosity is something I bring into my work as well: a respect for both what’s practical and what feels harder to put into words.
Behind the name:
Anchor & Blossom Therapy
Anchor & Blossom Therapy actually came together one night while I was putting random words into Thesaurus.com, trying to find something that felt right.
“Anchor” is inspired by my dad, who is a 26-year Navy veteran. “Blossom” is inspired by my mom, who has loved gardening for as long as I can remember.
Over time, the name started to feel even more meaningful to me. My parents have shaped so much of who I am, and in many ways, this practice feels like a tribute to them and everything they’ve taught me about resilience, care, and showing up for others.
My hope is that therapy can also be a space where you feel more grounded, more secure in yourself, and more connected to who you are.
