Vulnerability researcher and storyteller Brené Brown stated once that authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we are. Do you feel insecure, lost, or helpless? Do you ever feel immense pressure to be someone that you are not? Do you feel depressed or anxious about life’s journey or had a loss? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or the future, preventing you from truly living a joyous life? Have you experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move forward? I will help you understand yourself better so you can live a peaceful and happier life.

I enjoy working with those who identify as introverts, people-pleasers, and over-thinkers, because these are also the people whose needs are often overlooked. Whether you are someone who is easily overwhelmed, feels misunderstood, or worries that you're "too sensitive" or "too emotional," my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can focus on healing, growing, and just being you.

Unconditional support is a central part of the therapeutic process. My style is to treat you with compassion and respect. My clients describe me as ‘easy to talk to,’ ‘understanding,’ and ‘not judgmental.’ Like Bill Withers famously said, “We all have pain, we all have sorrow, but if we are wise, we know there’s always tomorrow’. I am honored to earn the privilege of supporting you through therapy and will be there if you need to ‘lean on me when you’re not strong.’ I became a therapist because I believe that we all need the help of others to help us through our challenges.

Hi, my name is Quynh Pham, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was born in Vietnam and came to America when I was 12 years old. I was inspired to step out of my comfort zone and adapt not only to a new language but also to the cultural shift. This challenging experience taught me to respect and connect well with people from all backgrounds. I value the quality time I spend with friends and family who I love. I enjoy traveling, cooking, and exploring the culinary world because I believe a hearty dish brings everyone together.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and those you love? You may be fed up with the cycle of exhaustion, feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns of people pleasing and self doubt or drowning in feelings of sadness and loneliness. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to end this cycle of pain. You’re ready to stop feeling a sense of aimlessness. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself more deeply and those around you.

As an Asian American therapist, I understand how culture influences mental health.
Growing up as a child of immigrant parents brings its own set of challenges. We too often have to juggle between different cultures and language barriers, making it harder to build healthy relationships. Many of our parents didn't have the tools for effective communication, which can unintentionally pass down unhealthy patterns. Whether you're struggling with family, romantic, or friendships, you deserve a space where your thoughts are heard and understood. I'm here to provide that safe, supportive environment to help you navigate and heal those relationships.

As an Asian therapist fluent in Mandarin, I deeply understand the nuances of bicultural identity, intergenerational dynamics, and the weight of unspoken expectations.
Sometimes, life feels overwhelming—like you're doing everything “right,” yet still feeling stuck, anxious, or not enough. Maybe you're tired of overthinking, putting everyone else first, or feeling like you're carrying invisible burdens no one sees. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. As a licensed therapist with years of experience, I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity shifts, cultural pressures, and relationship struggles. My clients often identify as overachievers, immigrants, or first-generation professionals who’ve learned to survive by pushing through

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.
