THERAPIST

Alex is a bilingual / bi-cultural (Mandarin 中文 / English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. With a caring and non-judgmental approach, he works with clients to support them in developing personalized and attainable goals, to enhance the quality of their lives. He has training and experience working with adults, young adults, and adolescents facing a wide range of challenges, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, dual-diagnosis, phases of life issues, family conflicts, and relationship difficulties in individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy.

Clinically, he is a depth-oriented psychotherapist, and his style draws from training in Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy, with a goal to promote psychological growth and pursue “individuation,” a process of developing an authentic connection with one’s inner self. He also utilizes a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family System Therapy, Solution –Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to meet individual needs.

With his transition from Asia to the U.S. and a transformation from business to counseling, Alex believes that we all have the power to create a life we aspire to. He is committed to providing an empathetic environment to support each individual in pursuing “individuation” and attaining a fulfilling life.
