High Quality Therapists offering in-person sessions at our Pasadena, Highland Park, Los Angeles offices, and virtually Across California & Washington State since 2016.
We welcome clients from diverse racial, ethnic, sexual, gender, religious, and social backgrounds while offering one of the few safe spaces specializing in our work with the Asian and Asian Americans and children of immigrants. Our therapists understands the nuances of anxiety, depression, being a child of immigrants, intergenerational trauma, neurodivergent-affirming care (ADHD, Autism), maternal mental health, religious trauma, and complex relational dynamics for children, teens, adult individuals, couples, and families. We are here to support you.
Our Approach to Therapy
Our therapeutic approach integrates evidence‑based modalities with relational warmth, cultural attunement, and trauma‑informed care. We draw from contextual family systems and somatic-based approaches, such as Restoration Therapy, Brainspotting, and neurodivergent‑affirming frameworks. Our clinicians tailor treatment to each client’s unique story, honoring the intersections of identity, culture, family, spirituality, and lived experience.
OUR VALUES
relational
We believe the therapist-client relationship is one of the most important parts of the therapy experience. We hope you feel safe and seen in this special relationship.
authenticity
We are not blank slate therapists. We bring our whole selves into the therapy room, allowing our personalities, lived experiences, and appropriate self-disclosure to support our work.
cultural competence
We take a position of curiosity about your specific lived experience and how your race, ethnicity, migration story, and culture impact the way you experience the world.
spirituality
If you identify as a person of faith or spiritual in any shape or form, we welcome you to bring this part of you into our therapeutic work as a resource without judgment.
community
We practice within community, meeting in weekly consultation groups, training together, and holding each other accountable to provide the best quality of care for our clients.
integrity
We practice what we preach, making sure that we have a solid self-care practice, take on a sustainable number of clients to provide quality care, and nurture a vibrant life outside of work.
non-pathological
We see your experiences as “making sense” in light of your lived experiences and the world we live in. We support you to invite more peace, connection, and meaning in your life.

Item description
-
Many of our therapists have extensive experience supporting children of immigrants, first‑generation clients, BIPOC, and Asian American community. We understand the complexities of navigating cultural expectations, intergenerational trauma, family roles, communication patterns, and the pressure to bridge multiple worlds. Whether you’re exploring identity, boundaries, belonging, or healing from family dynamics, we offer a space where your experience is understood with depth and care.
-
Yes. Even if your therapist does not personally identify with your religion or spiritual background, our team is trained to support you in integrating any faith, spiritual practice, or meaningful resource into your healing process. We honor the role that faith, ritual, community, and spiritual identity can play in therapy when it is supportive to you.
Several therapists on our team identify as Christian, agnostic, or spiritual in their own way. Many have familiarity with evangelical Christian environments and specialize in religious trauma, spiritual abuse, purity culture, and faith deconstruction or reconstruction. Whether you want to reconnect with your faith, explore questions safely, or heal from spiritual harm, we meet you with respect, curiosity, and care. Please make sure to indicate any specific preferences for your therapist in your submission inquiry.
-
We encourage clients to explore our therapist profiles and reach out for a consultation to find the best fit for your needs, identity, and goals. You can also indicate what your needs are and we can recommend one or two therapists who best match your needs.
-
For us, culturally responsive therapy means honoring the full context of your life — your identities, your family system, your cultural background, your family migration story, your spiritual experiences, and the stories that shaped you. We listen with nuance, curiosity, and respect. We do not assume your experience; we work collaboratively to understand it. Our therapists integrate evidence‑based modalities with cultural attunement, relational depth, and trauma‑informed care.
-
No. Our therapists are trained to work respectfully and competently with clients whose identities, cultures, or spiritual backgrounds differ from their own. We approach each client with curiosity rather than assumption, and we collaborate with you to understand the practices, values, and traditions that are meaningful in your life. You do not need to match with a therapist who shares your background to receive culturally responsive care here.
-
We offer therapy that is warm, relational, culturally responsive, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the complexity of identity, family, culture, and spirituality. Our therapists bring clinical expertise, lived experience, and a commitment to honoring your story with nuance and care. We believe healing happens in the presence of trust, attunement, and a therapist who sees you fully — not just your symptoms.
-
Yes. We have bilingual therapists who offer therapy in Korean and Mandarin. Our Korean‑speaking and Mandarin‑speaking clinicians provide care that is both linguistically accessible and culturally attuned, supporting clients who prefer to express themselves in their native language or who feel more understood when cultural nuance is shared.
Even if your therapist does not speak your language, our entire team is trained in culturally responsive, identity‑attuned care. We work thoughtfully with the intersections of language, culture, immigration, family dynamics, and lived experience. Whether you prefer therapy in English, Korean, Mandarin, or a mix of languages, we strive to create a space where you feel fully seen and supported.
-
Our therapists bring a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences to their work, including Asian American, adult third culture kids, multiracial, immigrant‑family, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, Christian, agnostic, and spiritually diverse identities. Many of us have personal experience within interracial and intercultural marriages, long-term partnerships, parenting and motherhood, and navigating multiple cultural worlds.
In addition to our clinical training, our team comes from rich professional backgrounds — educators, special education professionals, entrepreneurs, scientists, fine artists, business consultants, marketing, and creatives. These experiences shape the way we understand people, systems, learning, expression, innovation, and the many ways individuals move through the world. They allow us to bring depth, curiosity, and a multidimensional perspective to the therapeutic relationship.
While each therapist is unique, we share a commitment to approaching every client with humility, respect, and cultural responsiveness. You do not need to match your therapist’s identity, background, or profession to feel understood here. What matters most is that you feel seen, safe, and supported in a space that honors the full complexity of who you are.
-
Yes. Many of our clients come to therapy to explore identity, culture, belonging, and the experience of navigating multiple worlds. We support clients who are unpacking cultural expectations, family roles, intergenerational patterns, racial identity, spiritual identity, and the impact of being first‑generation or part of an immigrant family. These conversations are welcomed and held with care.
-
We believe healing happens in the presence of attunement, trust, and a therapist who sees you fully — not just your symptoms.

Our role is to walk alongside you with steadiness, respect, and care.
-
Yes. Many of our therapists specialize in trauma‑informed care, including relational trauma, intergenerational trauma, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, childhood trauma, and identity‑based trauma.

-
Yes. Many of our therapists provide neurodivergent‑affirming care for clients with ADHD, Autism, sensory regulation challenges, and other forms of neurodivergence.
