Suffering is a certainty in our lives, but sometimes it becomes more than we can bear. Oftentimes, we can become caught up in blaming ourselves- and though sometimes there can be truth to the notion, it's not true enough to guide us towards healing. We may feel slowed down, stuck, agitated, angry, frustrated or sad. There is nothing wrong or unacceptable with you or your feelings in my practice. They are part of your truth that will guide you to a deeper level of knowing.

For some, the pandemic has left us confused, angry, anxious – and we find ourselves trying to process, what is happening. We can find ourselves struggling with work & life balance, self-esteem & purpose, socialization & isolation, family & relationship issues, transitions & adjustments, loss & grief, and so on…I believe that how we handle stressors & conflict today, have a role in how our past relationships and experiences shape us. Generational patterns and cultural factors impact the way we move, talk, behave, & respond in this world. I would encourage you to explore your past and we would, collaboratively identify any patterns

Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming common symptoms such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may hinder quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings. I encourage you to try. People frequently report feeling better just by taking the first step of calling and making a first appointment. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which, together, we will explore, understand and conquer the obstacles you have encountered in your journey.

Adolescents and young adults in the Bay Area face a unique set of challenging circumstances, and often feel vulnerable, alone, and unsure of where to go for help and support. My therapeutic style is centered around the development of trust, safety, and client agency and autonomy. My primary goal in working with you is to support and guide you in the exploration and identification of your unique and specific wants and needs; in a safe, open, non-judgemental, and confidential space.
Tania Choi Psychotherapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MEd
I'm not in the business of instigating change. I am in the delicate and complex work of empowering it. Because I believe you have the wisdom to bring about change. Because change is your work and your choice; my role is to set the stage, empty it, illuminate what stands in the way and explore with you the possibilities for change. Ultimately you decide.The fact that you're here already ensures it. My job is to notice your process, reflect and honor it. In this space, I have seen amazing change happen.
Jeffrey Ly | Porn Addiction
MA, AMFT, LPHA
It's very challenging to admit that YOU or YOUR significant other have a PORN/SEXUAL addiction. This discomfort stops most people from getting professional help but your courage & determination for a solution brought you HERE. Now, let ME take this weight OFF YOU. My experience in LA's Addiction Centers & current work with 1,500 men in groups & solo sessions constantly indicates PORN as a major catalyst of issues: ED, Anxiety, Depression, Low Motivation, Low Libido, Brain Fog, Social Withdraw & Relational Conflict. It's shocking since Modern PORN has ONLY been around the past 15 yrs so the IMPACT is only NOW being realized.

I provide an environment of safety and acceptance, where new understandings and confidence can develop and flourish. Recognizing that our feelings and previous experiences affect such issues as intimacy, the challenge of illness, coping with stress, life's transitions, loss, and sense of purpose, my approach to psychotherapy integrates concepts of treating the mind and body. I work with individuals and couples to facilitate change toward increased contentment and vitality, and have particular expertise in helping clients cope with the experience of chronic or acute medical conditions.

Together, we'll work towards building an authentic relationship where I will do my best to support you in addressing your needs, wants, and barriers to living the kind of life you want. Therapy can be a challenging space to step in to, and a deeply fulfilling one that can provide us with the ability to slow down and catch up with ourselves. By allowing ourselves the space to reflect on lived experiences, we begin a journey to better understanding ourselves, our histories, and how those affect the way we show up in the world, and our relationships.

Many of my clients deal with addiction problems, past trauma, depression, low self-esteem, or related issues. A lack of confidence can make it difficult to feel safe in the world. I help people get to the bottom of what’s going on. Whether you’re struggling with a mental health issue, working through a trauma or loss, or aren’t sure what’s happening, I can help. You can feel more hopeful, less anxious, and more excited about living again.

Has your child been having behavioral issues that you've been trying to resolve, but you feel like you've tried everything and are frustrated, maybe even feeling like you are at the end of your rope? Or maybe your child has suffered a loss or trauma and is having trouble adjusting. Perhaps they are feeling more anxious, especially given the challenging times we are currently living through. You are looking for some extra support, and to provide a safe place for your child to process their feelings, in order to help them achieve optimal development and happiness.

What if you could experience more peace in your life, while also feeling more empowered? Many people look for this balance but have trouble finding and keeping it. While life will always have bumps in the road, you can learn to deal with the unexpected more easily, while accepting yourself in the process. Many of my clients come to me feeling extremely stressed, or struggling with problems like substance abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, emotional issues & anger. I help them work through these issues, while also realizing that healing is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s ultimately about loving yourself, as you are.

Do you feel stuck between two or more worlds, unsure of who you are? Or perhaps you feel trapped in the life you’re currently living. Many of my clients come to me when they are afraid to be themselves, whether that means sharing their hopes and dreams, making needed changes in a relationship, or expressing their sexuality. I help people better understand themselves, and who they really are underneath cultural expectations and pressures. I’m not here to judge, to tell you how to live, or tell you what you’re doing wrong. Instead I’ll listen, see the whole you, and help you make your own decisions about the future.
