Asian Therapists in San Marino, CA

Change is inevitable and constant, but I can help you navigate through that! Hi! My name is Elsa and I look forward to meeting you! I've been licensed since 2012.I particularly enjoy working with young adults and adults going through life transitions.

“I wish I could press the restart button and start over.” How many times have you thought this or heard your child say this? If you have, you may be hoping for change! I am a trilingual (Mandarin/Taiwanese) psychologist providing virtual therapy, with specialized experience in working with the concerns of Asian communities. No matter your age, your words are powerful and the key to change! I work to provide a safe environment for you to feel welcome. Together, we will build on your strengths, and prepare you for the obstacles ahead.

I am a clinical neuropsychologist. I specialize in innovative treatments for race-related stress, intergenerational issues, and racial identity concerns, particularly for Asian Americans. I have expertise in treating addictions, depression, professional issues, burnout, aging-related concerns, and life transitions. I provide evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I hold positions in USC's Psychology and Gerontology Departments and UCLA's Psychology Clinic, and actively publish research on these topics.

I work predominantly with first & second generation Asian-American millennials seeking help with perfectionism, people pleasing, career burnout, and challenging family dynamics. One of the most important things to know when you are struggling is that you are not alone. As a biracial (Chinese-Irish) therapist, I'm familiar with the nuances of overcoming current stressors while understanding the influence of cultural identity issues and intergenerational trauma.

Hi! I’m glad you’re here! I’m an Asian American therapist who supports individuals, couples, and families during times of relational conflicts, mental health distress, and overwhelming life transitions. I value creating a space where you feel comfortable coming as you are during times of pain, questioning, and loneliness, as well as celebrating the moments of hope, triumph, and joy! In therapy, we’ll creatively work together to explore the complexity of your story and develop practices that can support you in living according to the values that make your life meaningful.

I believe everyone, if given a supportive and secure space, can discover their inner-self and learn to appreciate who they genuinely are, which leads to improved relationships. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California and Taiwan with over 10 years of practice experience. I have helped diverse populations with a wide range of issues in a variety of settings, including a community mental health center, a college counseling center, a domestic violence women's shelter, a re-entry program, an outpatient opiate treatment clinic, skilled nursing homes, a youth correctional counseling program, and an elementary school district.

You crush it at work! But you feel like a total failure in your relationships. Exhaustion and hopelessness permeate your existence like a dark fog. Caffeine and self-propulsion have become your two best friends. Relationships should be fulfilling, right? Then why do you feel so numb, disengaged, and often embarrassed by your reactions to others? Sure, you hit your numbers at work. But your reward is dragging yourself home to a lonely, sexless marriage. Another conflict ensues. Great. Your wife’s judgmental stare leaves you feeling ashamed and like you’re 5 years old again. Let’s face it – you haven’t felt loved in years.

Wonderful to meet you! I’m a clinical psychologist, licensed in the states of California, Iowa, and Washington. I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with various mental health conditions or those hoping for self-growth. I also help couples who want to develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another.

Welcome! You may be seeking therapy to cope with life stressors, relationship challenges, family issues, or depression. You may be wondering if therapy can help. Together, you and I will clarify the root cause of your pain, the most effective coping mechanisms for your life circumstances. In therapy with me, you will learn how to emotionally regulate: methods for responding to emotions and relationships in an intentional and responsible manner.

Hello, and welcome. You may have arrived here because you've done everything the "right way" but that hasn't led to happiness. You wonder, what do people mean when they say "go with the flow"? Or, you can't shake that feeling you've somehow missed important life milestones, and you need a little clarity. I offer warm, empathic engagement in a safe space, where we can assess your needs, comfort level and tolerance to create a plan unique to you.

Are you seeking a creative and empowering psychologist to accompany you on a journey of insight, healing, and powerful change? My approach is integrative and based on the latest research in neuroscience, mind-body integration, and attachment theory. I am culturally informed and LGBTQ+ affirming; I will respect your unique experiences and world view. We will work closely to uncover, process, and release traumatic stress and challenge self-limiting beliefs. Work with me to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others; build intentional creative and professional practices; cultivate a deeper appreciation for life.

My name is Dr. Allen Sung, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist and the Clinical Director of Huntington Psychological Services in Pasadena, CA. I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological testing and assessments for children and adults experiencing educational, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA and a Master's and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology. I strive to conduct evaluations with the same care, compassion, and professionalism that I would expect for myself or my loved ones.

You wanted to start a family because you had hope and a vision for the future. Now, you’re not sure where that hope is. Instead, it’s the anxiety you’re not doing enough. The fear of not having the family you hoped for. Reeling from the adjustments you've made. Losing the person you used to be. Anger and resentment because it feels like your partner doesn't get it. Isolated from a world that highlights glowy and cute instead of messy and complex. Any day can be a different roller coaster of emotion. For many women, seasons of transition, infertility, pregnancy, loss, postpartum, and parenting can feel exactly like this.

I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of therapy. My goal is to build trust & rapport and to help clients experience mental, emotional, behavioral growth and resilience in our work together. I genuinely want to know your story- past versions of yourself, who you are now and who you hope to be. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 17+ years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults and families through individual and family therapy. I will help you develop and meet therapeutic goals, build a toolbox of coping skills and provide compassionate support each step of the way.

When we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck, managing everyday stressors can feel impossible. Therapy can help. From processing and navigating thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to learning new ways to manage stress, family, and/or interpersonal challenges, therapy can help you find a better balance in everyday life and facilitate personal growth. Therapy looks different for every individual and there are times in which personal growth can appear action-packed with significant changes in habits and ways of thinking, while other times growth is marked by staying still and acknowledging the present moment.

Feeling stuck? Want to get closer but don't know how? There are times when we feel exhausted and hopeless with ourselves or in our relationships. We feel lonely, insignificant, angry or tired. I see therapy as a process of discovery. I believe that we all possess the potential for change and growth in how we relate to others, to this world and most importantly, to ourselves. I am trained in Marriage and Family Therapy and I am also a certified Level Two Restoration Therapist. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couple.

Recently the world as we knew it was turned upside down. With the onset of Covid-19 and a "Safer at Home" order as well as school closures, parents are under more stress and pressure than ever. I am currently providing individual therapy and parent coaching via our secure video platform. If you find yourself having difficulty managing your frustration and/or anxiety, or feeling the enormous pressure of home schooling your children while keeping up with the other demands in your life (i.e. work, home responsibilities) do not hesitate to reach out. You do not have to figure this out alone.
