Chloe is an associate therapist in the state of California (AMFT #145659), specializing in cultural differences, relationship dynamics, and grief support. She has experience working with individuals navigating life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. She also specializes in working with immigrants and children of immigrants. She is passionate about creating a thoughtful and compassionate space for clients to explore their unique stories and find resilience in the face of difficulty.

​

In her practice, Chloe focuses on supporting clients through the complexities of relationships—whether between parents and children, romantic partners, social circles, or one’s relationship with oneself. Her own journey as an Asian immigrant to the US gives her a deep understanding of the micro cultural differences at home and macro cultural differences in society for immigrants and children of immigrants. Her personal experience as an end-of-life caretaker has given her a deep understanding of the growth that can emerge from grief and loss, allowing her to help clients process and navigate these profound experiences.

As a proud introvert, Chloe values the meaningful connections that emerge from intentional, slow-paced conversations. She works collaboratively with her clients to tailor therapy to their individual needs, recognizing that no single approach works for everyone. She integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and humanistic approaches such as Gestalt Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work.

Chloe earned an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. She has worked extensively with individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds and is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for healing and growth.

我是一名位于加州洛杉矶的心理咨询师，专注于为国际学生和移民人士提供心理支持。我在大学时期赴美求学，经历了离开家庭、留学适应、文化冲击及反向文化冲击、留学生工作焦虑、职业转型等，希望我的经历可以更好的帮助我理解你，看见你。在我们的咨询中，我们将共同营造一个安全和平等的环境，让你能够尊重自己的感受，发现自己的优势和热情。我会倾听你，陪伴你，并帮助你探索新的视角和可能性。通过鼓励你分享生活经历和真实互动，一起发现其中的意义和机会。我们每个人都受到独特的经验、语言和社会背景的影响，这使我们既有普世价值，又具个体的复杂性和多样性。我坚信，心理困扰并非源于我们天性的不足，而是由于环境的变化，使得自我价值未被接纳，或过去习得的经验不再适用。当以往的应对方式无法解决当前问题时，心理困扰便随之而来。例如，一个在成长过程中常被拒绝的孩子，可能会减少表达需求以适应家庭环境。然而，这种方式在未来的人际关系中可能会带来问题。我们的目标是帮助你找到更灵活的方式或策略，尝试新的体验，成长为更真实自在的自己。

 

踏出心理咨询的第一步需要勇气，你选择寻求帮助已经非常了不起。我希望我们能在一个安全的空间里，讨论那些在你生活中难以被看见和理解的事情。尽管你可能因为某些困扰来到咨询，但我看到的是一个丰富而具体的人。我希望能够帮助你认识并珍视自己身上那些值得珍惜的部分。我的专业领域包括强迫症、丧失、焦虑、双相情感障碍、创伤、抑郁、依恋问题、拖延、亲友离世和急性心理创伤；以及人际关系问题，如社交障碍、沟通不畅、讨好型人格、信任问题、社交恐惧、人际压力、家庭关系等。此外，我还擅长处理学业和职场问题，如学业压力、就业压力、留学适应、职场压力、工作家庭冲突和职场歧视。

 

很多情况下，你不是“做错了”或“不够好”，而是你与“大部分”不同，埋没了自己的独特优势和特质。我坚信每个人都有自我成长的愿望，并且在一个接纳、包容和支持性的关系中，能够重新获得自我成长和修复的能力。我愿意成为那个在你人生不顺意的节点上，陪伴你走过一段旅程的同行者。欢迎你随时通过电子邮件联系我预约咨询。
