Asian Therapists in Tega Cay, SC

Life is full of challenges, and whether that looks like losing your job, having frequent problems with your partner, struggling with uncomfortable feelings, dealing with a traumatic experience, or feeling stuck between a rock and hard place, you are not alone. When there are challenges in your life, it can be hard to actually live your life. It can be hard make healthy decisions to move forward in reaching your goals. You know that you need some sort of change in your life, but you just don’t know how to get there yet. You want clarity, peace, and growth to move forward. You want to be your best self, and live your best life.

You learned that to get through life, you must be perfect, “proper,” and stay invisible. But operating down this path comes at a cost: overwhelming pressure, self-hatred, and feeling like an imposter in your skin. Belonging has never been easy for me, especially as a child of Asian immigrant parents. The pressure to be "enough" for others or to offset the guilt I felt for all the sacrifices my parents made to succeed in the United States has contributed to my resilience and anxious attempts to hide my imperfections. So, this is an invitation to those who want permission to mess up, be imperfect, and recover from unmet needs.

Now Taking New Clients! How are you doing today? I know at times things can be hard, but I am here for you. Let me help you deal with life's struggles and issues, and work on healing, growing, or in reaching your full potential. Therapy is not a one-dimensional place where you go to only talk about your feelings, but a place where you can holistically work on yourself. Therapy should be a safe place for people to understand themselves, unburden, heal, and morph themselves- all on their own terms. No matter what diagnosis or problem I guarantee I will go on this journey with you.

Achieving your goal is my goal!

Welcome to your journey! Growth takes patience and hard work but ultimately changes the way you feel, act, and move throughout each and every day. I would love to be apart reaching your goals and discovering who you are. Therapy is not something to be ashamed of but rather something that shows strength and courage to start. It can help with emotion regulation, understanding yourself and others, processing thoughts and feelings, and overall, creating the version of yourself that you strive to be. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and thus have the opportunity to grow in a space that you know is best for your future.

I work collaboratively and co-creatively with clients who are ready to identify goals and accomplish them using a planful, proactive approach that builds on their strengths. I believe self-compassion and self-care are fundamental to personal growth. I integrate body awareness and movement, as well as music, drama, and art, into treatment when it is appropriate and agreeable to clients.

Many of us are navigating change beyond what we prepared for. When our relationships become a source of stress, rather than the calming connection we seek out, our nervous systems protest, using coping styles designed for combat, not for love. We can push our partner away at the very same moment we need them the most. Are you worn from repeating negative patterns, longing for a clearer map to communicating needs? Marriages are healthiest when couples become shelter for each other, removing blocks to a satisfying bond. Using 30 years experience, I provide couples with personalized tools for more effective, satisfyiing relationships.

I specialize in working with folks navigating the complexities of anxiety, life stress, and trauma. Clients are drawn to me when they are seeking support to alleviate the weight of these challenges and regain a sense of inner peace and stability. Their primary need is to feel heard, understood, and validated in their experiences. They are not searching for quick fixes or superficial solutions but instead crave genuine connection and empathetic guidance.

Anxiety, depression, and the experience of grief and loss can all feel like heavy clouds casting shadows over every aspect of your life, keeping you stuck and preventing you from living life fully. Whether you are struggling with difficult emotions such as sadness, fear, shame, anger, panic, or life limiting behaviors such as overthinking, constant worry, isolation, or avoidance, effective therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions, gain insight into your unique circumstances, learn coping strategies, and reclaim control over your mental health.

Do you feel alone, invisible, and unimportant, like the person you love is rarely there for you emotionally: so you pursue your partner and even have occasional outbursts just to try to get through to them? Do you feel overwhelmed, like no matter what you do it is never good enough to please the person you love: so you defend yourself, shut down, or turn away in your relationship? Are you feeling frustrated and stuck, like there is no way you can get through to the person you care about? Are you feeling depressed and anxious, and the problems in your relationship seem to make it worse? You don't have to stay stuck. There is hope.

Throughout our lives we collect memories and experiences and sometimes we just need space; space to breathe, process, exist - let's see what we can do with the space provided for you. Someone who would come to see me might be experiencing transitional periods, anxiety, relationship conflicts, grief, or trying to reconnect and understand themselves more. For whatever reason you are seeking out therapy, I hope you find a therapist who helps you when you are ready.

Are you seeking a supportive environment for personal growth? The therapy space is here to challenge you into becoming the best version of yourself. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed and burnt out on life, therapy can give you the support you need to make lasting improvements. Are you done being impacted by the toxic people around you? A therapist can help you set boundaries and remain effective in all of your relationships. Stop suffering emotionally and give yourself the chance to decrease pain and increase joy. I assure you - you already have what it takes to thrive.

Now accepting new clients (individuals or couples). My two niches are couples therapy and Enneagram. You may be trying to find a sense of who you are, as you struggle with patterns of emotional and/or relationship distress. Or perhaps you are a couple whose relationship feels disconnected, and you’re wondering if emotional connection can be found again. Whether you are trying to find “wholeness” as an individual or in your relationship, I’d love to help in your journey. Some of the emotional issues I work with include self esteem (self identity), anxiety, depression, and life transitions/adjustment.

Are you struggling with family relationships, life transitions, athletic/sports issues, or problems working in ministry? I am passionate about addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals and families. With a strong foundation in Christian Counseling principles, I have dedicated my career to fostering healing and growth. Do you need help navigating the complexities of family dynamics? Are you an athlete struggling with the specific pressures that come with that role? Do you love the Lord but are struggling with your specific ministry?

Ready for things to change? Tired of feeling stuck in cycles in your relationship, your moods, your behaviours? Have there been events in your past you'd rather not have replay in your head over and over again? A sense of security, meaning and control is probably what you're looking for. In therapy you (and your partner and/or family members) will learn how to use many methods (including self-hypnosis) to speed up the process of gaining new insights and to reinforce your resolve to enact change in your life, as you choose. You remain entirely in control of your experiences.

After 25+ years working as a clinical psychologist, business owner, and mediator, I am even more enthusiastic and delighted to go about my work than when I first began. Helping people of all ages as they learn to make decisions, handle stress, control emotions, advance their careers, and acquire loving relationships is a privilege and is what I am called to do. I care about your outcome and seek to be a trusted professional advisor and resource to you, both immediately and whenever you need me in years to come. Together we can transform your relationships, health, and career to get you safely through the toughest times. CALL NOW!

I specialize in the treatment of trauma recovery and anxiety disorders. If you want to develop new working interpersonal boundaries, address patterns of co dependency and build new coping skills, we might be a good fit!

Life is beautiful when we are in harmony with the universe and heal through our challenges. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to live a little more at peace and find your way through life’s circumstances. I excel in working with patients who have anxiety, depression, crisis situations, eating disorders, cultural acclimation issues, or racial trauma amongst many other areas of specialty. I enjoy healing through targeted therapies and helping you connect to the vast opportunities provided by the universe to get back to the joy of living. Practicing with care, compassion and empathy are my strong suits. All are welcome.

Life can be complicated and overwhelming at times. In response to difficult situations people often lose sight of themselves, which can create internal conflict, leading to external issues. Integrity Counseling and Wellness provides individual, group, and family counseling to help create awareness and understanding of how to get back to 'Me'. Our approach to the internal conflict includes a holistic perspective that brings about a sense of wholeness from the dis-ease of life's challenges. Change can be an uncomfortable and scary process. With the help of professionals that understand the normalcy of crisis situations, the process of healing, growth, and truth is attainable.
