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 (mostly) raised in California.
When I was a kid, I knew I wanted to make a living out of helping people. How I ended up landing on becoming a therapist is up in the air. Maybe it was seeing Dr. Lipschitz on Rugrats (just kidding, he was terrible). Or maybe it has something to do with being part of a social skills group in elementary school. Whatever it was, here I am doing what I wanted to do as a kid despite a few detours along the way.
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 working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and family and relational issues, especially related to their upbringing and culture.
Outside of work
Outside of my little telehealth therapy corner, I’m based in Washington State with my husband. You can usually find me baking something new, trying to befriend the neighborhood cats, or watching reality TV that is mostly pretty terrible.
I love going to concerts whenever one of my favorite bands are in town, trying out new spots, and taking little road trips to Portland.
I’m a big fan of spooky stuff, like horror movies, metaphysical topics, tarot, dreamwork, and anything that we may not be able to really explain.
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 and had a nice ring to it.
“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.
