Addiction Therapists in Irvine, CA

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

One of my greatest passions is helping couples in intercultural relationships. I speak English, Mandarin and Taiwanese. I've been in practice for 19 years. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dr. John Gottman's research methods to help clients who struggle with communication, intimacy, various mood disorders, grief/bereavement Issues, acculturation problems (difficulties adjusting to American mainstream culture), recovery Issues (codependency, alcoholism, food addiction, substance abuse, issues relating to family of origin, etc.), and difficulty with life transitions/changes.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

At VCATTRC we provide neurocognitive and brain based treatment methodologies for substance abuse and psychological disorders. We believe that there is a strong correlation between a healthy brain and a person’s mental, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Mental behavioral disorders such as anxiety, depression, and addiction, have been linked to serious behavioral and cognitive dysfunctions in adults with long history of addictive behavior. Thus, treating such disorders and related co-occurring disorders is in need of a proper and specialized multidimensional assessment, evaluation, and neurocognitive treatment plan.

Have you, your child or a loved one been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, OCD or PTSD? Have the treatments not met your goals?

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma?
