Hi, I’m Guanhua
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy often means you’ve been handling things on your own for a long time. Maybe it’s work or school stress, family expectations, relationship struggles, or a quiet sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can pause, better understand yourself, and find ways to live more in alignment with what matters to you.
Much of my work has focused on supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also help clients explore identity, belonging, and what makes life meaningful to them. As a former international student and immigrant, I bring personal understanding of some of the complexities of navigating different cultures.
My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed, integrating different therapeutic approaches around your needs and goals. Together, we can develop practical ways to manage challenges while making room for deeper self-exploration. I also incorporate group therapy to build support, deepen self-understanding, and explore how we relate to others.
你好,我是 Guanhua,感谢遇见!人生中难免会有困难与迷茫,也许你已经独自应对了很久,想为自己寻找一些支持。我希望提供一个安全、温暖的空间,陪伴你慢下来,理解自己的所想所感,对自己多一些好奇与善意。在被倾听、被看见的过程中,逐渐找到更适合自己的人生道路,也重新发现日常里那些微小却真实的美好。
我的工作关注情绪困扰、关系议题、生活转变与适应,也陪伴来访者探索自我认同、归属感与人生意义。作为曾经的国际学生与移民,我对跨文化生活中的一些压力与挑战有着切身的理解。结合教育学与发展心理学背景,我也帮助青少年应对学业压力、情绪与关系困扰。在咨询中,我重视你的感受与选择,并根据你的需要与反馈,灵活运用不同的方法。我也开展团体治疗,让来访者在交流中彼此支持,更了解自己与他人的相处方式。

Frequently Asked Questions

You can call, email or go to our client portal to request an initial consultation. If you can’t find any time slot that work for you, or have more questions before booking, feel free to contact us.

Both. We see clients in-person at our San Jose office and via secure video throughout California.

We are currently out-of-network with most insurance plans. Some of our clinicians accept EAP such as Lyra Health.
For many common plans — including United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and Cigna — we can submit claims directly on your behalf, so you don't have to deal with superbills yourself. If your insurance isn't on that list, we'll provide a superbill you can submit for reimbursement. Many of our clients receive up to 80% back from their out-of-network benefits.
Not sure if your plan applies? Reach out and we'll help you figure it out.
