Asian Therapists in 10027

As an Asian-American gay man who grew up in the US South, I knew from a young age that I lived in a world that did not offer me freedom to author my narrative. Thus, I am passionate about building critical consciousness, self-awareness, and self-confidence to counteract oppression and live in the world with empowerment and authenticity. I am privileged and honored to use my experience to heal any client who has ever felt marginalized, outcasted, or misunderstood simply for "not fitting into boxes." If you are ready to live for yourself rather than for the limiting expectations of society, then I am looking forward to collaborating.

My approach to therapy is dynamic and warm. I respect every person's right to self-determination whether in relation to treatment goals or lifestyle choices. I have specific training in trauma-informed care and violence against women and children. I also work with clients who are experiencing gender, sexuality, or other identity issues. I approach adversity with an affirming attitude while also challenging unhelpful thought processes. Sessions can be as structured or unstructured as you wish.

It’s natural to sometimes feel helpless when encountering tough situations; it can happen to anyone. There’s no shame in feeling afraid, hopeless, or desperate. While others may try to downplay your feelings, I, as your therapist, will not. Such feelings deserve to be addressed in a respectful and healthy way. My job is to guide you towards authenticity as you learn to feel empowered as a your true self.

Let's begin by acknowledging that you have taken a crucial step forward just by beginning to search for a therapist. You are here because there is a part of you that wants to make a change in your life or to understand yourself better. You are hoping to become your best self at work and in your relationships, feeling ready to address a trauma or loss, or looking for help getting through a bout of depression or anxiety so you can feel like yourself again. My job is to support your process of discovering what is getting in your way, and to help you develop the skills, mindset, or insight you need to move forward.

Our identity and values change as we go through life experiences and stages, being a product of these experiences as well as a process to strive for a more satisfied and fulfilled future self. While change is a constant in life, they can bring us stress, anxiety, confusion as well as compassion to self and others and deeper understandings of our meanings in life. I'd like to work with you to understand your needs that are both universal and unique, identify both unhelpful and helpful ways to fulfill them cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally. We will both collaboratively to identify goals and assess progress along the way.

You long to release the emotional strongholds and frustrating patterns that have taken over your life. You seek to break free from being a victim of your past and being held back by unresolved pain, recurrent conflicts, and trauma. You would like to embrace awareness, healing, self-discovery, and self-mastery. I am here to help you reconnect with hope and inspiration and make therapy an enriching and empowering experience. Our work together can help transform the pain and wounding of your past and present challenges into your truth and potential for connection, ease, joy, and fulfillment.

Emotional distress is too often pathologized when it's a reasonable response to the oppressive systems in which we live. Instead of trying to "fix" you or help you not feel any difficult emotions, I believe that all feelings have information, and we have the power to find out what that information is and choose what to do with it. I would aim to support you by helping you recognize and feel difficult feelings, treat all parts of you with curiosity and compassion, and determine what information your feelings are holding so you can feel more connected to yourself and make choices that align with your values from a place of clarity.

Are you unconventional in ways that make finding a therapeutic fit hard? Need tailored sessions? Hi, I'm Locke! Whether you want to use sessions as executive function coaching, silent brainspotting, or cathartic chats, I'll aim to make it possible.

You may be here feeling your emotional pain has been too much for you to hold inside alone any more. You may have tried very hard to feel better but nothing has worked to heal from the pain. You struggle to feel happy and confident no matter how hard you work, and you wish you were like someone else who looks happier and more successful. You notice your constant criticism, guilt, and shame towards yourself, and find it difficult to be compassionate towards yourself. If this resonates with you, I would love to help you get unstuck and heal from this endless pain and feel confident and content with who you truly are.
