Asian American Therapist in OC
Are you an Asian American Millennial looking for an Asian American therapist?
Are you looking for a therapist who is a person of color and is a minority? Have you worked with other therapists before and felt like they just “didn’t get it?”
I’m an Asian American therapist in OC. I am also available to provide therapy for individuals living all over California statewide through teletherapy sessions. I am a second generation Asian American as my parents are both immigrants who moved to The U.S. from their motherlands. I am proud to be a person of color who provides counseling and therapy to young adults.
I understand the struggles that Asian American millennials may face in today’s society, such as growing up with a “tiger mom,” racism, trying to break the “bamboo ceiling” or trying to live up to the “model minority myth,” but finding yourself straying away from it. I’ve gone through similar struggles, so I can empathize with my Asian American clients. I understand the pressures of being Asian.
It is common for Asian families to not communicate their needs and feelings. Mental health is often still a taboo topic among Asian parents. I help Asian Americans feel heard and understood instead of having feelings of shame and guilt. You are not alone.
If you are ready to start therapy with an Asian American Therapist who is aware of Asian cultural considerations, then you can schedule a free consultation with me here.
+ Do you only take Asian American clients?
No! I accept clients from all ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds! I enjoy working with minorities and people of color, and I do not discrimate against other racial groups.
+ What is your ethnicity and cultural background?
I am Chinese-Vietnamese American. I identify with both of my Chinese and Vietnamese cultures as well as having strong Filipino influences growing up.
+ How is seeing an Asian American therapist different from seeing a White therapist?
It is your personal preference on which therapist you choose. However, most of my Asian American clients seek me specifically because I am an Asian American therapist who can understand the cultural influences and pressures that may contribute to their mental health.
