Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.

I enjoy bringing humor and kindness to my sessions I want to know what you need and will do my best with helping you get there
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping people feel like themselves again. I provide compassionate, evidence based care for anxiety and depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.My goal is to create a judgement free space where patients feel heard and receive personalized treatment that fits their lives
I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.
Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.
I veiw the path of a human life span, as each of us interact and peerceives the environment around us in our own unique way. My goal is to help clients look at their options, evaluate choices towarda healthier outcome. My work has involved in helping clients toward building better communication between couples, family members, and individual relationships. It is my belief that counseling / psychotherapy can provide a safe place where personal challenges can be processed, and finding choices toward enhancing the quality of life and improve relationships.
I'm John, a licensed psychologist practicing in Utah and California. I started out in information technology because I loved computers and making sense of data, but over time I found I enjoyed working with people more than working with machines, so I went back to school and earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD). Since then I have worked in counseling centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools, and I have really enjoyed applying the science of psychology to help people understand themselves and navigate the challenges of everyday life. I see teens, young adults, adults, and older adults for concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, men's mental health, and questions of religion and spirituality.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Fremont
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont starts with identifying care that affirms your identity and matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with gender identity, sexual identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. The right fit should reflect both clinical training and a clear commitment to respectful, identity-affirming care.
Fremont has a range of mental health care options, though LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapists in some local areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care accessible from home. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you see whether a therapist explicitly works with LGBTQIA+ communities and how they describe their style, specialties, and session approach.
Therapy in Fremont can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fremont who match your preferences and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
