"The question is: What is tangling you up? Are you tangled up in anxiety, sadness,& doubt? Are you held by insecurity &uncertainty? Are you slowed by feeling disconnected & getting caught unaware? Have the paths become overgrown and you can’t find or are questioning the sign before you? Growth is about using and building new skills, all of which take time, and nurturing. Growth is about finding solutions that apply to the situation and not just the general world. Both of these are elements of the hope. Hope is something we need to move us through the day, and it does require updating."

"I'd like to support and help you going through the difficult moment you are experiencing right now. Life is no doubt challenging but wanting to have a better and quality life should never be too much to ask. In my practice, I work with different populations, including children, individuals, couples, and families. I have many years of experiences helping children and teens from age 3 to 17 with different kinds/levels of issues and challenges, and often times the parent-child relationship or family dynamic issues are also revealed and addressed during the process. I also help couples to end their battles and manage their disagreements"

"I believe that a successful working relationship is woven together with factors that lend trust and confidence to our process. These elements include my professional training and experience, our comfort zone allowing us to build an important bridge, and your motivation to work on the issues at hand. The most important ingredients for successful therapy are trust, fit, chemistry and motivation."

"I have been in practice for twenty five years, working with people of diverse backgrounds and a wide array of issues. I use both Spanish and English in my practice, which generally includes people suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I enjoy both individual & couples therapy and also work with adolescents."

"(Click on the "website" tab to watch my short 3-minute intro video!) Finding it hard to choose a therapist? You're not alone. You see, finding a “credentialed” therapist is easy. But uncovering someone who fits you on a personal level? That’s a long, expensive, and painful game of trial and error. Hi, My name is Lia Huynh. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, flourishing couples often reveal I’m the only counselor they tried… who “got it”. It’s very humbling. Having 17 years of professional experience and master’s degrees in two specializations certainly helps. In addition, I'm a professor, a pastor's wife, and speaker."

"Some areas of specific focus for me include sexuality and gender (communication, sexual development, LGBT, children's issues, open and poly relationships, and alternative sexual choices), grief and loss (major life changes, death and dying, bereavement), depression and anxiety, anger management, and spiritual crisis. I am trained in the process therapy model with a dynamic and creative style of nurturing, allowing, exploring, reflecting, honoring, and celebrating you and your sacred personal growth work."

"Teaching people about mindfulness and how to achieve inner peace is my passion. I believe that the best way to find happiness and joy is by practicing gratitude. I believe that what you put out into the universe comes back to you. I understand physiology and I can explain how the body works. I am logical as well as intuitive and my calmness allows you to slow down, reflect and to focus on what is going on inside of you. "One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change.""

"Therapy does not have to be painful. I will help you find out what is stopping you from living up to your full potential and preventing you from living a more productive and fulfilling life. I have energy, a down to earth style, and a good sense of humor. My clients have said that they feel safe and comfortable talking to me because I am real and non-judgmental. "Feelings are like waves. You cannot stop them from coming, but you can decide which ones to surf.""

"I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years. I have provided array of clinical services; including individual and group psychotherapy, crisis intervention and case management. As a generalist clinician, I strongly believe in treating my individual client's needs with various evidence based treatment modalities that work for that individual. My goal is to work with my clients to develop a treatment plan along side them that best suits their treatment needs."

"I'm here to assist and support your healing process. Healing holistically means following the guidance from the body back into a state of wholeness. I believe that symptoms are not something to go to war with or get rid of, but rather they can be a compass to track where there is emotional pain. I will invite you to become more familiar with your body sensations through mindfulness so that you can start to embody and express a deeper process of release."

"You're a highly sensitive person. Things that don't seem to bother others hurt you to your core. Big transitions can bring this on, or you may have a long-standing struggle with depression or anxiety. Your emotions are intense and sometimes they overwhelm you. Your nervous system is running on overdrive. I can help you learn how to calm yourself and allow your nervous system to settle so you can experience a greater sense of aliveness and wholeness. I understand the bigger picture and can help you develop active strategies to make tangible changes."

"Do you sometimes feel like you're not reaching your full potential or perhaps want to cope better with life's problems? Do you want to find meaning and purpose in your life? I help people like you live a more authentic and fulfilling life. My way of working is integrative, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to personalize therapy to your individual needs and goals for a better life. "

"Finding a therapist is hard! It doesn't help that there are so many to choose from. I think the most important part is actually liking the person you are talking to. Take a look at my page (and website), and if you think we may be a good fit, I encourage you to call me for a free 15 minute consultation. If we end up working together, I will do my best to find which methods align with you so that I can help you get to the place you want to be."

"Are you lonely, feeling depressed and hopeless thinking that life has passed you by? Are you struggling with a transition in your life: empty nest, divorce, newly married, or the loss of a loved one or a new job? I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with these issues. I help clients acquire direction and tools to move beyond old "non working"patterns in their lives. I work to see your growth through empowerment, direction and education."

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (LMFT 101555). I specialize in working with adults, adolescents and children experiencing depression, sadness, worry, social anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions and low self-esteem. I studied at Santa Clara University, where I earned a master's degree in counseling psychology. Prior to that, I received a bachelor's degree from San Jose State University with a double major in psychology and behavioral science."

"When was the last time someone really listened to you? It is so painful to feel that you are not enough. When you feel unloveable, the feeling often comes from things that happened in childhood. It can feel like you are the cause of the problems in your life. Hopeless, helpless and terrified of failure... Your self esteem is at a low and you don't know what to do. You didn't cause the problems but it's up to you to fix them. Life can be SO much better and I can help!"

"You're not sure if psychotherapy/counseling works for you, and just to see what's out there. Welcome! I respect your courageous step. When was the last time someone listened to you with full attention, without judgement? Imagine you express yourself freely and you feel you are heard. Together we can make such a place. Whether you feel down, anxious, lonely or angry, I go on a journey with you and help you explore a healthier path to grow. I have worked with K-12 kids at schools and also with adults at a clinic."

"Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t right for you? You don’t need to leave your job or family for a month to find the help you need. Addiction is tough: that compulsion to go back and do the same thing over and over, even though you know it's destroying your life... You feel fear, anxiety, failure, worthlessness, humiliation, contempt... You've tried to break the 'habit', get your control back, but just when you start feeling some success you stumble, and you're back in the same hole again. Breaking your substance abuse alone is not as simple as it sounds. Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab."

"I'm experienced in walking with you through an array of issues connected to identity and anxiety: journeying through questioning or leaving the faith; navigating the intersection of faith, sexuality, and gender; coping with religious anxiety; dealing with immigration and culture shock; moving through racial or ethnic identity; helping with general anxiety, panic, and unwanted ruminating thoughts; and learning to lean into life when you don't feel like you "fit in." If one of these topics resonates with you, I'd love to support you in your journey!"
