身為華裔，要找到會講流利中文又資深的心理師不容易。想要和人深入談論家庭的議題，感情的問題，自我內在的困擾，並理解華人文化的各種隱微的含義，以及人與人之間的那些階級權力，不是非華人能理解的非語言互動更是困難。作為移民的第一代或第二代，常常遇到家庭世代的隔閡，文化的差異，和語言的不同所造成的距離，父母和孩子間的無法溝通：新移民對美國文化的適應不良：想要讓孩子不要輸在起跑點又希望孩子能快樂成長：想要有個美滿婚姻又覺得要維持在美生活已經搞得精疲力竭。許多居美華裔面臨的人生議題，我們都能陪您一起面對

你是否曾在人群中仍旧感到孤独？你是否曾感觉伤痛没有尽头？你是否对于自己和他人充满困惑。 如果你看到这里，说明你多少是在寻找答案，属于你的答案。或许你想要跟父母和解，或许你想要在伴侣身上要一个答案，或许你想要成长为更好的自己。又或许你只是想能少难过一点。

应对生活变迁有时令人感到压力重重，尤其当社会、家庭和个人期望压在您身上时。作为一位出生于香港的过来人，我明白身在异地的感受。我们都渴望过上充实的生活，再次感到快乐，但我们经常被期望要感恩、停止抱怨，且不谈论我们的感受。许多人都面临这些挑战，却认为自己是唯一一个人。来到美国学习一种新的文化，学习一种不同的语言，同时被期望取得成功并不容易。有支持是至关重要的。Read my bio in English by clicking "English" on top of this page.

Are you feeling helpless in dealing with your child/teen emotional and behavioral issues? Do you feel lost in connecting with your child/teen? You want to help them but don't know how? I have been working with children, adults, and families for over 15 years to bring out their potential in mindfulness, creativity and relationships through individual and family therapy. Through this process, clients get to know themselves better, in a safe and supportive environment. I develop a therapeutic relationship based on their needs and goals. My experience includes treating individuals with depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma.

Have you or your child been demonstrating a change in mood and/or behavior recently? Has your/his/her work/academic performance been negatively impacted? Are you ready to meet with someone to try and figure out how to ameliorate those symptoms together?

Joanna has over 20 years of professional experience as a school psychologist and most currently as a licensed educational psychologist providing in-depth psychological, educational, socio-emotional, and behavioral support to children, adolescents, adults, families, educators, professionals, and para-professionals in both the public and private sectors. Since 2001, she has served as a district psychologist across Los Angeles and Orange County providing detailed, comprehensive assessments & evaluations, trainings, consultation, and counseling for individuals and groups. Joanna is bilingual and converses in English & Mandarin Chinese.

I have experience working with children, individuals, couples, families, and adolescents in therapy, Christian counseling, and pastoral counseling. With children, the focus of my experience have been play therapy and sand tray therapy, focusing on children with emotional and behavioral problems like ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, bipolar, self-mutilation/cutting, and anxiety disorder. I also have experience in working with individuals with depression, mood disorders, and anxiety, particularly with men's issues and addiction. In working with families and couples, I've focused on improving communications, creating better understanding for each other, and improving intimacy.

You want to enjoy your relationships and reach your goals. However, some obstacles just keep blocking your success. Whether these obstacles are unresolved past issues, present crises, negative thoughts, challenging emotions, or unhealthy behaviors, they CAN be resolved and changed for the better. As a compassionate professional skilled in the therapeutic integration of brain science and many multimodal treatment approaches, I strive to provide a safe and effective environment for people to resolve their issues and find their strength.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.
