I have 3 specialties: sex therapy, sleep treatment, and child/teen mental health. Mind & Body Garden Psychology is a Mandarin-English multicultural group practice with 20+ bilingual therapists, psychiatrists, etc. We provide psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment services, and see our roles as gardeners. When people come to us seeking support, they may have too many branches of mental blocks and bushes of stress in their lives. What we can do is to help people be more aware of the branches and bushes that impact their quality of life, and then assist them to trim these parts, cope with stress, and live happily.
In our clinic, we strongly advocate evidence-based treatment (CBT, DBT, ACT, etc.) to build a more meaningful life. Our team covers a wide range of specialties and you can find more information on our website. I host some podcasts/YouTube: "Deep into Sleep" podcast (sleep health); "一三蜜桃说Dr.Yishan" YouTube (sexual health); etc.
Many clients have a hard time dealing with stress or transitions in life. Others may use some help with improving communication and relationship. They all have a common desire to take active steps to make meaningful and lasting changes. Please feel free to reach out to us for an appointment: 650-434-2563.
