If you seek a therapist who just nods his or her head, and asks: "how do you feel about that?" then I am not the right choice for you. I am a "relational" psychoanalyst who listens closely to my patient's stories, and engages in active dialogue with them. Together we form a collaborative alliance to confront and overcome your fears and anxieties. I am firmly committed to a collaborative, participatory, and holistic patient/therapist relationship. As partners, we form a trusting bond to explore the problems that interfere with your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

Looking for a therapist that's creative, easy to connect with, and willing to find a way of relating and interacting that meets your needs in a safe, personal, and respectful way? Psychotherapy's not the same for everyone, and everybody's needs are different in terms of what they hope to achieve. Whether it's frustrations with life or a job, relationship issues, pain related to loss or trauma, or merely stress & overwhelm with decision-making, it helps to have someone to talk it out with - in a concise number of sessions, or over an extended period of time.

Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes and feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism.

I often think of therapy as learning to listen to a river underground —that quiet but persistent current of feeling beneath our everyday selves. Sometimes surfacing as a spring, clear and alive, carrying something forgotten back into the light. My role isn't to chart the river for you, but to walk beside you as we gently uncover its rhythm, depth, and the places where it might have gotten blocked or redirected. I’m Shao, a queer bilingual therapist walking at the intersection of cultures, languages, and ways of healing. I’m here to help you listen for what’s quietly asking to be heard.

There is no ideal client. Each client is a unique subject who has been shaped by an infinitely complex set of circumstances; family, culture and inherited predispositions. The one thing that they have in common is that somehow there is a sense that things are somehow not right and yet still entertain a suspicion that things can improve. Working in an open, honest and interactive way, marked by curiosity, compassion and courage we will work together to discover patterns and styles that hinder the experience of joy, intimacy and achievement. Together we will work to overcome the crisis of debilitating guilt, anxiety and depression.

My approach to psychotherapy synthesizes holistic, spiritual and psychodynamic modes of understanding and working. The therapeutic relationship is a safe context for emotional healing and developing greater self-awareness. I help my clients deal with current difficulties and feelings, release old pain to allow the natural growth process to proceed, change dysfunctional patterns which block fulfillment, and empower themselves through awareness and choice. Working with individual adults, I respond to each person's unique personality, history and needs in order to bring about the desired changes.

As a therapist with over 25 years of experience, I have been privileged to be part of positive change for individuals, families, and couples with a wide range of issues.I strive to form a collaborative, supportive, and professional relationship with clients.

I understand how difficult it is to discuss issues related to anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, depression, self esteem, trauma, relationship issues, and situational stress. I appreciate the strength that is needed to talk about these issues and have great respect for all clients.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
