Origin Story
We are Dr. Nam Tran and Dr. Johanna Tran. For years, we devoted our lives as physicians to caring for others. But our perspective changed forever when our own teenage son experienced a mental health crisis. In that moment, we were no longer doctors—we were parents, terrified and desperate to help our child.
We searched across Tampa Bay for the right support. We realized that mental health services for teens were sparse and mental health providers were often experiencing compassion fatigue and burnout. Systems felt cold and detached.
That experience changed us. We realized that healing doesn’t begin with a treatment plan—it begins with compassion. It begins with hope. And it begins the very first time a patient or family reaches out for help.
That’s why we founded Transform Mental Health. We wanted to build the kind of place we wished we had found for our son: a place where every person feels seen, heard, and supported from the very first moment; a place where both clients and staff can not just survive, but thrive.
Our guiding belief has never changed:
“Every transformational journey begins with compassion and hope.”
Today, through evidence-based programs and a team of compassionate professionals, Transform exists to bring that belief to life—for individuals, for families, and for communities in need of healing.
