I am also gay and Asian-American with personal experiences within LGBTQ+ and AAPI communities for whom cultural connection matters.
I’m Jonathan (he/him) and if you’re looking at my profile, chances are you’re looking for help. Life can be tough and prioritizing yourself can be even tougher. You're putting in a huge amount of effort for yourself, and I will be there to put in mine. I have experience in providing therapy for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and more. I also help adults through life changes, gender and sexual identity issues, and interpersonal relationships. As a military spouse, I also understand the unique culture, lifestyle, and challenges faced by military dependents and service members.

Adults try to solve problems themselves so it is embarrassing to admit need for input. Arguments with spouses, relatives, phobias, infidelity, porn addiction, workaholism, when they are persistent, cause people to consult me to figure out what's going on. If I can find factors in their functioning of which they are unaware, and bring those to their attention, they may be able to find solutions. One goal of mine and of my patients is to solve problems and be done with me and treatment. Confidentiality is critical. You will not see anyone else except me in my office or on zoom. I treat people and consult with therapists daily.

Greetings! When life gets to be overwhelming, more than you can handle, or maybe just at a point where you need some professional and unbiased guidance, I can help. My ideal client is someone that is open to allowing me to help them reach their desired goals, and improve their mental and overall well being. My treatment approach is from an ecIectic lens. I am here to meet you where you are. No two people are exactly the same, and as such, they should not be treated with the exact same approach and techniques. I believe that being a competent, and ethical clinician, with great listening skills is paramount to providing optimal care.

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.
