Bio/Qualifications
"2 Turntables was created by me, Paul Phuong D Dang, Licensed Professional Counselor, DJ, and Artist residing in Houston, Texas.
Growing up as the son of refugee parents from Vietnam, I witnessed the impact of trauma and violence on my family. As a child, I found solace in music and became passionate about DJing.
While in graduate school for Counseling Psychology, I discovered an intersection between mental health therapy and DJing. I developed 2 Turntables, a program that combines psychotherapy, my love of music, and DJing. I hope that creating this program and school will bring a new way of seeing mental health that is accessible, engaging, and profound while cultivating an environment of self-healing and self-love.
My patients often describe me as "very easy to talk to, calm, patient, wise, thoughtful, compassionate, committed, and someone who truly cares. Ultimately, my deepest wish is to offer as much help as I can and make a meaningful, positive difference in the lives of individuals and the community as a whole. "
