Maybe you've spent a longtime being the "capable and strong one" or the one meeting everyone else's expectations that you've lost your own voice. Maybe family, culture, career, faith—are all pulling, until what's left is anxiety instead of peace, burnout instead of confidence. But that peace can't be earned by trying harder. It has to be received. As an immigrant, wife, therapist, I understand the weight of carrying all these parts at once. I offer culturally-affirming, somatic, neuroscience-based therapy—and, for those who want it, biblical counseling to help you heal, grow, and build a life shaped with intention.
Hi, I'm Helen Bass, a 1.5-generation Filipina American therapist. You are more than your struggles—and more than what's expected of you. Together, we'll uncover your story, heal old patterns, and build relationships that last. For those who want it, I also offer biblical counseling rooted in your Christian faith.
When you’re ready, you can book a complimentary 15-20 minute intro call through my website. We’ll talk about what’s been feeling heavy, what you’re hoping will feel different, and whether working together feels like the right fit. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear plan before reaching out. We can start with what feels hardest right now.
