Asian American Marriage Therapy

in San Jose

Asian Americans need to balance the intersection of multiple social identities and cultures. Often those people need to tackle immigration, patriarchy, and difference in family values, which sometimes affect the ability to form romantic relationships.

We should feel lucky that we have the opportunity to enjoy all of the benefits that come with living in America, while we still have the chance to enjoy our Asian culture.

As society becomes more accepting and open to intercultural relationships, marriages among Asian Americans are increasing. Whit that the issues and conflicts in the marriages due to cultural differences and values rise as well.

Asian American Marriage Therapy Can Help You

Marriage Therapy will help you and your partner to identify and correct deep-rooted problems in your relationship.

My Unique Approach to Asian American Marriage Therapy

I have many years of experience in the field. 

I have more than 17 years of experience helping families overcome their problems. When I did my program back in the 1990s, I was the only Asian person in my MFT program. I went to SF State which is very diverse, and yet there were very few of us studying counseling.

I am proud to say that I have many years of counseling under my belt, that I started before many other Asian Americans came into the field, and that I continue to learn and grow as a professional.

Everything I do, I do with passion

My passion is to be able to help people live their lives to the full potential, to be happy each morning they open their eyes. Despite the fact that my family always encouraged me to take the “safe” career path and study business, I listened to my inner voice and followed my dream to study psychology.

I have never regretted this decision. I feel inspired and excited every day that I’m able to see and talk with my clients.

I learn and improve every day

I attended two wonderful schools for psychology (undergrad) and Marriage Family Therapy (graduate school). I’m passionate about my work and I always strive to provide the best help for my clients. That’s why I continue to study and research psychological papers from other professionals in the field. I often attend conferences and seminars and try to learn the best practices.

There is a lot of stigma around going to therapy (especially within the Asian American community), having a marriage counselor to help you establish a good relationship is important.

You can transform your negative situation into something that helps grow you into a more thoughtful, resilient, and deeper person. Therapy can also help you build some healthy habits and behaviors when it comes to communicating with your partner.

You may be still questioning whether or not to seek marital treatment.  Give me a call, email, or text with any questions you have.

Book your free 20-minute Asian American marriage consultation and ask any questions you’d like, or to just chat with me about what you’re going through. I’m here to help.

Testimonials

This was the best experience I’ve had with therapy. Lia gave me great advice on how to handle my panic attacks. It was helpful to get information that other doctors never gave me. I liked being able to work on overcoming the anxiety without being medicated. She was always very kind and listened to what I needed to talk about.
- Client
I was struggling with a long period of anxiety and depression as a result the break-up. Lia was able to help me understand my part in the cycle of behavior and showed me how to extract myself from the situation and move on with my life. She gave me tools to help focus on my wellbeing and stop events from the past influencing my future. Lia seemed to listen actively and carefully to what I was saying and was able to understand what I was expressing sometimes even before I fully understood it myself. I appreciated that her office was comfortable, clean and quiet. I found it very easy to relax and say what needed to be said.
- Client
I suffered from emotional hardship after my breakup. I lost my self confidence, and was doubtful of my self-value. That’s the time when I sought out Lia’s help. Lia helped me through giving me support and positive encouragement when I needed them the most. I am very thankful that God has given me help through Lia so that I can find my joy and peace again!
- Client
Lia’s calm demeanor was nice–nothing felt forced or hurried. Also for every story I’d share there was always a comment–felt listened to and had engagement. I also enjoyed the good laughs that would come up during conversations. Lia helped me by helping me deal with my fears and feelings and initially overcoming the hardship of struggling with a mental illness. Lia is a great listener with comments that are reflective and engaging.
- Client
Lia let me know if was okay to have my feelings and where they were coming from. It makes more sense now. I have grown as a person. Thank you, Lia.
- Client
I was dealing with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Lia listened to the issues that I was facing. She would provide support through feedback as well as help me come up with coping strategies to deal with things. She was always very positive and friendly and made me feel like I was not crazy, that I am simply a human being going through a lot.
- Client
It was helpful for me to be able to talk through issues. I learned that a willingness to compromise on issues with your significant other is important. I also got to work through my feelings about work/career.
- Client
My boyfriend was dealing with a form of depression and it was putting a strain on our relationship. Lia helped me realize that depression doesn’t have to be a deal breaker for someone you really love. You can work through differences and make things work if you want to put the effort in. I had a lot of insightful sessions with her.
- Client
I felt like Lia really cared and was willing to help. Counseling felt like a safe place where I didn’t feel judged and I could talk honestly about my feelings without worrying what the other person thinks of me. My goal for therapy was to get out of feeling stuck especially with my career and also to gain self confidence. I became more open to new experiences, people, and adventures as a result of therapy. Lia helped me step by step through the interview process and I was able to get a new job. She kept pushing me every week and encouraging me to keep trying.
- Client
Lia is good at finding out what the situation is, in a gentle and non-intrusive way. Within the first session, she is able to build a strong rapport, and able to pinpoint the problems my family is having. Her ideas and suggestions towards the problems are innovative and give me insight about my relationship. I can’t thank her enough and appreciate all her efforts!
- Client
I had an excellent experience with Lia. She is very caring, kind and sensitive to what ever your problem you have. I learned about myself that being considerate and kind is not a form of weakness. I also learned to just be myself. She did an excellent job tending to my problems, and for that I would like to extend my gratitude. Thank you, Lia!
- Client
Lia is professional without being intimidating, kind, incisive, and very complimentary. I find her very helpful, and not at all someone to be afraid of. Her service is caring, professional, not overly concerned with the dogma of any school of thought.
