I am the founder of a Mandarin-English bilingual group practice (Mind & Body Garden Psychology) and there are currently four bilingual therapists, with different specialties. I strongly advocate evidence-based treatment to develop a more positive attitude and to build a life that is happier, more balanced, and more meaningful. Many of my 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.
I have been trained in evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Compassionate Approaches. Therapy requires teamwork and I love to work with my clients collaboratively and tailor treatment to meet their needs.
I am a Mandarin/English bilingual psychologist specialized in treating mood disorders and sleep disorders (insomnia) among both children and adults. I also administer IQ tests for gifted children. There are four other Mandarin/English bilingual therapists in my clinic. If you need any help, please feel free to consult with us :)
