As a Filipino-American provider, I’m passionate about interrupting shame and stigma around mental health.
Mental illness can feel like a heavy cloud that’s followed you for years — making everything feel harder. Maybe you’ve coped quietly, pushed through, or wondered if this is just how life will always feel. You might be nervous about medication, but something in you is ready to try. If you’re looking for thoughtful, collaborative support, you’re in the right place.

We have been most helpful to people who have been carrying silent wounds—trauma that talk therapy alone couldn’t reach, emotions buried deep in the body, or a disconnection from meaning and joy. They may be high-achieving but feel empty, or stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or numbness. What they seek isn’t just symptom relief, but a space for deep, self-directed healing. We specialize in holding that space. This is not patriarchal medicine—it’s your exploration. We walk beside you, not above you. With skill, presence, and care, we support those ready to meet themselves through expanded states of consciousness work.

An ideal patient for Dr. Aw, is one who understands that it takes a team to get them feeling better, both the patient themselves and Dr. Aw. Therefore, he enjoys using a collaborative approach and he states, “there must be a buy-in from my patients, otherwise they won’t trust my recommendations and we both should be agreeable to the game plan for getting better. “

I treat a broad range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and other behavioral challenges.

FAQ - Asian Psychiatrists
What can an Asian psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often through a combination of therapy and medication. For many individuals, especially those from culturally diverse backgrounds, feeling seen and understood by a mental health provider can be just as important as clinical expertise. For some people of Asian descent, working with a psychiatrist who shares their cultural heritage can help bridge communication gaps, reduce stigma, and provide a more nuanced understanding of an individual's challenges. While psychiatrists of all backgrounds are equally qualified, Asian psychiatrists may bring personal and professional insight into issues such as cultural stigma around mental health, intergenerational and immigrant experiences, racial discrimination, and identity-related stressors that can shape a person’s mental well-being.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian psychiatrists?
When searching for a provider, it is important to consider a range of factors to find the best fit for your mental health needs and cultural preferences. Psychology Today’s online directory is a helpful tool that allows you to filter your search specifically for Asian psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). As you view a provider’s profile, consider their clinical focus to see if they have explicit experience with issues like racial identity, trauma, family dynamics, or specific populations. It is also helpful to consider practical details such as their therapeutic modalities, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, the languages they speak, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure their care is accessible to you.
