Hi! I’m Vicky
My biggest belief is that no one knows your life better than you – so please, help me help you.
I am a first-generation Asian-American mental health therapist residing in Los Angeles, CA. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (No. 101923), I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve a sense of inner peace and contentment. The clients are in the drivers seat of their own treatment and my role is to help them navigate through their journey. I’m here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment, where clients can explore their feelings, process their experiences, and make positive changes in their lives. In this client-centered approach, my goal is to help clients better understand themselves and the world around them.
What drew me to this field was going through my own healing journey. I understand first-hand how vulnerable it feels to share the inner workings of your heart and mind with a complete stranger – but I also understand how empowering it can be. This inspired me to be the person to curate a safe and comfortable space for someone else’s journey.
I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their path to healing, growth, and overall well-being. If you are seeking a compassionate and experienced therapist who will provide a trauma-informed space for self-exploration and personal transformation, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges, discover your strengths, and foster lasting positive change.
