INTRODUCTION
As a therapist/coach who has master degrees in both Counseling, and in Organizational Psychology, and many years in the helping professions, I help adults achieve strong and healthy relationships personally AND professionally.
I also provide EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. This is a very powerful method to help clients achieve change quickly. For more information on EMDR, click here:
LANGUAGES SPOKEN: English, Vietnamese.
ISSUES
These are some examples of issues I help clients with:
* Relationship Problems (Personal and Work Relationships)
* Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
* Grief
* Self-Esteem, Self-Identity, Personal Growth
* Trauma
* Decision-Making Coaching
* Parenting
* Career Choice Assessment
* Cultural Conflicts and Cultural Blending
* Addiction
All of these issues involve me helping you move past your hindering, faulty, blocking beliefs, as quickly as possible.
STYLE
My style of doing therapy is compassionate and warm yet direct. I am energetic, flexible, and creative. This also means I’m interactive in conversing with you. Yet, I know when to stay quiet so you can have space to express yourself! I believe that you have great inner wisdom, and a desire to move towards living a more fulfilling life.
I give you a lot of information to empower you from the very first session. Because of this, some of you only need to see me for a brief period of time to reach the results you are looking to achieve. You may then come back from time to time to get coaching on other issues that come up in your life. On the other hand, some of you may want to have deep insight into your problematic repetitive thought and behavioral patterns that are rooted in your experiences with your family-of-origin, and so I would then apply some traditional psychoanalytic theories and methods in working with you.
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO SEE ME IN YOUR FIRST SESSION
We establish the confidential nature of your being a client. I listen to what has brought yo my office. You may ask questions of me, and express any concerns you may have. I answer your questions and let you know my assessment based on what you’ve discussed, including how we may work together to help you fulfill your goals. You decide if you feel comfortable in continuing with me. If so, we agree on how we proceed.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES APPLIED
For those of you who know a lot about psychology theories and would like to know my orientation, these are the theories that I apply in my work: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Systemic (Structural, Bowenian), Relational, Control Mastery, Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Strategic, and Brief Therapy.
FEE
My fee is $95 per 50-minute session. I do offer a sliding scale fee depending on your financial situation.
