Asian Therapists in Austin, TX
Your relationship with yourself and others cause you to suffer in ways that your friends can't fully comprehend. Feelings of failure, insecurity, anxiety and depression have left you feeling like a stranger in your own life. You question yourself, wondering if you've done something wrong... whether there's something you should be doing differently. Friends and family are trying to be helpful with their advice, but it often leaves you feeling worse. Some days you have hope and others you feel you are in true despair. You are desperate to make sense of it all, and you don't know where to turn.

I’m a millennial Asian therapist based in Texas and Virginia.
I believe psychotherapy is based on the power of human connection. Rather than focusing on diagnosis, I will see who you are as a person first in a warm and safe place. I also use Sandtray (for adults, optional!) or Guided Imagery and Music to strengthen connections between physical, emotional and your intuitive parts.

Hello there and welcome! I was born in Austin, TX and grew up in a bi-cultural Korean American family. Being raised in an immigrant family, I learned from an early age that life can be a struggle, no matter what your circumstances may be. For the last 15 years I have dedicated my life to serving those with severe mental illness, co-occurring substance use, and trauma and I have come to believe that there is inherent worth and strength in all of us. I aim to provide a safe space, free of judgment, where we can share, learn, and nourish your unique strengths. I hope that, together, we can find your voice and celebrate your worth.

If you’re someone who’s done all the “right” things—read the books, been in therapy, worked hard to understand yourself… but still feel stuck in old patterns—this might be why:
understanding your pain isn’t the same as healing it.
You might know exactly where your anxiety, shame, or inner critic comes from. But that doesn’t stop the spiral of overthinking… or the feeling that something’s still off. Like many of my clients, I used to live in my head. I could analyze everything—but connecting with my emotions, or softening toward myself? That felt nearly impossible.

Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve an affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not just a tool for inner transformation but also a catalyst for our collective liberation.

Many of us carry heavy emotions all by alone, whether it’s stress from caregiving, family conflicts, cultural transitions, or silent pain after relationship changes. It can be so overwhelming sometimes that it is hard to just catch a break. You may have been told to just keep powering through even when you are already burnt out. But you don't have to do all of this by yourself. I understand how much courage it takes to actually seek professional help, especially if you’ve spent years putting others first. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strength, foster resilience, and move toward clarity, healing, and growth.

I also work closely with Asian American and minority clients navigating family conflict, intergenerational trauma, perfectionism, and cultural identity.
Life can feel heavy at times. Stress, anxiety, past experiences, and constant expectations can make it hard to feel present, hopeful, or at peace. When everything feels overwhelming, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure where to begin. Therapy offers a space to pause, breathe, and take meaningful steps forward at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe healing doesn’t have to be done alone. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and support as you work toward greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment.

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.
