Shy, reserved, quiet, introverted, sensitive. Do any of these words describe your teen?
If your teen prefers to be on their own, struggles with new situations, tends to get overwhelmed or emotional, prefers listening than talking, or is easily affected by criticism, they may have this trait. And you may be wondering: "is there anything wrong with my teen?"
Let me reassure you that no, there is nothing wrong with your shy, sensitive teen. They simply need a different environment to thrive. And when they have it, they can thrive really, really well. This is one of the reasons I offer nature-based walk and talk therapy.

If you are struggling and don't know how to get back to your authentic self, you are not alone. From a young age, this authentic self needs to be taken care of. If we grow up without this care, as adults we may feel flat and unmotivated, we may find it difficult to make friends, we may struggle to understand and process our emotions, and we may forget to take care of ourselves because we feel unimportant. I provide a space for you to express the grief that comes from not receiving such care. Over time, I hope you can learn that such pain can be worked through.

FAQ - Asian Counselling
What can an Asian therapist help with?
An Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. How an Asian therapist can make the experience feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a background such as Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, or Vietnamese, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable opening up on such topics.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language can play an important role in therapy because people often express emotions, family dynamics, and personal experiences differently depending on the language they are speaking. For some individuals, working with a therapist who speaks their native language, whether it be Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, or another language, may help sessions feel more natural and emotionally connected. Even if you are fluent in English, certain thoughts or feelings may still feel easier to communicate in your native language.
How can an Asian therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
Cultural background can play an important role in couples counselling and family therapy, particularly when family expectations, communication styles, generational differences, or cultural traditions are influencing the relationship. An Asian therapist may help partners and family members navigate these topics with more cultural understanding and less need to explain the context behind them. For multicultural or multilingual families, an Asian therapist who is bilingual may also help ensure that each person feels heard and understood during sessions.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask prospective therapists whether they have experience working with clients who share your cultural background or speak your preferred language. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might also ask whether they have worked with clients experiencing concerns related to identity, intergenerational conflict, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
