Therapists in Anacortes, WA

對別人眼光敏感、重視合群、自我要求高的人來說，縱使擅長配合和迎合他人，當忽略或違背自己的意願和需求太久，總會累積了身心的傷痛、憤恨、或者變得迷失、麻木。如果你已經用盡辦法，「不想再這樣下去了」，我想你也具備足夠的決心和勇氣，作出更大的改變了。

I am a bilingual (Cantonese), bicultural (1st generation Asian-American) Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA, CO, WA, TX & HI for over 26 years. I have worked with clients coming from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and cultures. I believe that we all have within us the resiliency and strengths to handle life's challenges, and my goal is to help you rediscover them and walk together with you through those harder moments in life. I believe that it is through these tough moments that we grow and become the better, stronger persons that we are meant to be. I accept Lyra (EAP), HMSA and any PPO insurance (superbill).

I see clients who are interested in trauma work, sex education and therapy, mood disorders, racial/cultural identity issues, and relationship problems. I am a certified EMDR therapist and a sex therapist. I provide a non-judgment safe space for you to work on issues that may often be difficult and scary to talk about. My style is to be interactive and engage in providing emotional support, active listening, insight, clinical recommendations and alternative perspectives which challenge old patterns. My strengths are being intuitive, empathetic, focused, creative, and having a good sense of humor.

As we face the challenges of life, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Old issues along with our current circumstances may collide. As a counselor, I work with you to explore these issues while acknowledging your strengths to develop coping skills. Issues common to my practice include anxiety, depression, difficulties managing emotions, grief and loss, issues of life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress management, trauma, and work related stress. Telehealth only. Conversational proficiency in Cantonese and Toisanese.

I provide psychotherapy to all age clients including children (5+), family, and elderly. I speak Cantonese and Taishanese fluently. Image, you have your freedom and trust yourself to be who you want to be and live the life that you want to live. You are trapped, stuck, and carry heavy invisible responsibilities from your background, culture, tradition, and expectations from your society. You feel like you cannot breathe, keep your head above water. That’s enough! It’s time to change, it’s time to live life with the happiness that you deserve.

I love and enjoy working with children and parents! I am an early childhood educator as well as a mental health therapist. I offer therapy services for children and their families. I provide Infant and Early Childhood mental health and development services (ages 0-6), Children mental health (ages 7-12), parents, and perinatal mental health, and Adults (age 18 and above). I have worked with children and families for more than 6 years in a wide variety of settings, including schools, private daycare centers (infant/toddler/preschool/kindergarten), and community mental health clinics.

Starting something new and feeling like you are not good enough or scared out of your mind? Overwhelmed? Stressed? Navigating change can bring up a lot of emotions. I am here to help support you through these life changes and help you understand and manage what is going on. As a Chinese American, disabled, and women-identifying therapist, I am committed to helping you identify what is going on, and develop new strategies to cope with what you are experiencing to connect to the world we are living in.

Do you struggle with work stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, or chronic health issues? I'm happy to help you find the peace you deserve if you are ready to put in the work to put these issues behind you once and for all.

Please email to join the waitlist. Life can be meaningful even when painful events happen. I believe the path out of suffering is when we pass through our struggles, instead of running away from them. I am honored to be your secure emotional support through your personal and relational struggles. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and work with a broad spectrum of challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance addiction. I help my clients improve their self-esteem, process grief, and heal from painful events. My clients often find strength, relief, acceptance, and growth from working with me.

[My schedule is full. Please contact my group practice's Get In Touch form to see if other clinicians may have openings] You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck or dissatisfied about some parts of your life. You might be aware of the person you want to be and can be, but something is getting in the way of that and you would like to understand what. Or, you might need a place to talk about difficult experiences so you can make sense of them. As someone who truly believes in the healing power of therapy, I am glad you are considering it as a way of reaching your potential, regardless of whom you choose as your therapist.

“ I feel much better after talking to my counselor.” “ I realize that there is a way out after counseling.” “ I have better self-awareness and have learned how to make decisions for myself through counseling.” This is some of the feedback I have received from my clients after counseling sessions. Counseling, also known as psychotherapy, is essentially based on the core idea of that talking with a counselor about the things that are bothering you. It helps you to clarify your concerns and put them into perspective. I have been working in counseling for over 10 years in Hong Kong, St.Louis, MO, and Seattle, WA.

Is fear preventing you from doing what you need to do? When you look around you, does it seem as if everyone else has got their lives figured out, and you're still stuck in a rut? All of us carry beliefs about ourselves that were formed from our experiences and from what others have said about us. Even though we may be able to recognize some of these beliefs as untrue, sometimes we just cannot shake off the feeling that perhaps we are just not good enough. If this speaks to what you've been going through, I can help.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family therapist for over 14 years working with people of all ages, genders, social, and cultural backgrounds. I aim at providing a safe, non judgmental environment where clients can heal, recognize their strengths, and rebuild their relationships. I work closely with clients to create a customized treatment plan that fits their needs.
