Tram Elayne Nguyen, MSW, MPH
CO-FOUNDER / SOCIAL WORKERIn a world where every individual carries a unique story, I'm driven by the transformative potential of these narratives. I firmly believe in the power of each individual's narrative—how it shapes, challenges, and interconnects with larger societal dynamics. As a dedicated social worker with a solid foundation in public health, my purpose lies in helping you understand and navigate your own story. I'm here to guide you through the labyrinthine pathways of complicated health systems while empowering improved well-being, self-awareness, and a brighter sense of wellness.
Our voyage is one of teamwork and empowerment. We'll work together to decipher the complexities of your health journey, helping you connect the dots between your personal experiences and the larger societal forces at play. Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of your health landscape, and I'll be there to provide guidance, understanding, and unwavering support every step of the way.
On a personal note, I wear the badge of a "morning person" proudly. I kickstart my days by crafting delectable breakfasts and savoring the stillness of the morning. My energy finds its outlet in heart-pounding HIIT workouts or soul-soothing yoga sessions. But beyond that, what truly brings me joy is exploring the beauty of the PNW, often alongside my faithful four-legged companions, Pavlov and Maslow.
I invite you to take this step towards a healthier, more empowered life. Let us embark on this health journey together and uncover the possibilities that await within your unique narrative

My approach to case management
Holistic: Approaching case management from a foundation rooted in strengths and guided by a social justice perspective,I believe in a comprehensive, collaborative, and vulnerable process touching on all areas of life and health.
Insightful: My methodology entails a systems-aware approach, delving into the influence of norms, narratives, and expectations on health behaviors and engagement with healthcare.
Empowering: Collaborating closely with clients, I seek to comprehend their distinctive challenges, needs, and avenues for growth. Central to my belief is the recognition of inherent strengths within each individual, which can serve as a catalyst for them to assume control over their health
A look into a session with Tram …
Many individuals may have never had a health case manager before, so allow me to provide some insight into our sessions. I infuse a touch of lightheartedness and self-compassion, creating a judgment-free space where you can flourish. Expect our meetings to be encouraging, warm, and productive. I maintain a balanced approach, engaging you in discussions to gauge your comfort, offering support and challenges, while listening intently to your perspectives. You'll receive actionable steps to work on between our sessions, ensuring a continuous flight path forward. My ultimate aim is for our collaboration to be a space where vulnerability is natural, and skill-building is an exciting journey.
“Life gets tough, but you get stronger.”
