Asian Therapists in 85286
As a South Asian American I grew up with the heavy stigma and shame surrounding mental health and advocating for my own well-being amidst the collective.
You've always carried so much for your family, and in many ways are considered a trailblazer. Your family came to this country, and life growing up was complex for you as you navigated barriers, culture, your own self-doubt and shame for creating a different path, or wanting something different. It's getting harder to live in both worlds...what will my (insert here: family, friends, community, children) think of me? Meanwhile, you are noticing it may be harder to sleep, body pain where there was none, more frequent headaches or instrusive thoughts, restlessness...and you are here just seeking some relief and a path forward.

What would it look like if everything is going well for you right now? What would you notice about yourself that is different than now? Do you want to explore the answers to those questions?

When we're under too much stress or have experienced major life changes and loss, it's not uncommon to feel anxious, overwhelmed and irritable. Our usual ways of coping may no longer work and "relief" may be short-lived. As a solution-focused, strength-based therapist, I help people gain practical, deep tools to navigate stress and uncertainty, while gaining a deeper, more compassionate understanding of themselves and others. In therapy we can focus on the past or present (or worries about the future), develop strategies to cope, empower and heal, so you can live the life you truly deserve.

ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Every individual is unique with their own set of circumstances that may keep them from reaching their full potential. Do you strive to find your own way but often feel alone and misunderstood? The circumstances that may cause an individual to seek help are often not “stand-alone” situations but involve layers of issues. Addressing the root cause of problems requires a collaborative relationship. You know the details of your life and my role as a therapist is to guide you with expertise and a new perspective through a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

My name is Jae Bunn. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) at Better Days Behavioral Health. I graduated with my Masters of Counseling from Arizona State University. I have worked in non-profit community behavioral health agencies and private practice settings before transitioning to Better Days. I have experience working in the community and in outpatient settings. I became interested in the mental and behavioral health field back in 2016 after completing volunteer work abroad where I recognized the importance of wellness –to include mental health, not just physical health – in shaping one’s life.

I am unable to take on new patients. It can be discouraging when you notice yourself repeating the same patterns but feel unable to change. Experiencing difficult emotions can lead you to react in ways that are unhelpful and unhealthy. You may feel like you can't control how triggers from your past impact your current relationships. Maybe you find yourself feeling lost and stuck making it difficult for you to connect with others and lead a more fulfilling life. It can be scary to pursue therapy because you want to make sure you find someone who will validate your experience.

Hi:) Counseling is a way to bring ourselves back to self, in a deeper and real way. Learning about self and improving the awareness of self love, caring and exploring the most comfortable way to live our life. We spent too much time and energy to worry about things or holding too much fear of being judged, while we forgot that life was actually about my feeling not others expectation. It is not things make us stuck, it is our perspective. Yes, life is about perspective, counseling is just a journey that we work together to find the best fitful ways to make us worthy, cherished and loved by practicing or rebuilding.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
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.
