I'm Jason Hsu, an LCSW with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. Having personally experienced the challenges and transformative power of therapy, I am driven to destigmatize conversations about mental health within Asian-American communities. My dedication to this work remains unwavering, and I look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, enthusiasm, and, when appropriate, humor. I maintain a client-led approach to goal setting, allowing objectives to shift and evolve as insights develop.

I specialize in whole-bodied therapy to heal anxiety and trauma for children, teens, and adults. I offer attachment-based, trauma-healing, body-oriented approaches (EMDR, Havening & Somatics), play therapy, integrative talk therapy, & nature-oriented outdoor therapy. I also provide therapy for hopeful, awaiting, and new parents who are navigating the fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey. I provide therapy online across CA and outdoors if you are local to the East Bay. In-home therapy is also available for children and families.

In life we can sometimes feel stuck in old patterns. Or maybe our sleep, eating, or job performance has changed. Mood, physical health, and mental health are all connected. Brain fog, tiredness, loss of interest (or sleepless nights, jittery days, etc) can mean the balance is off. These are times when therapy can help you understand the issues from a new point of view. Primarily, I see my job as one of listener and guide. Together, we can figure out what's keeping you from being a joyful resilient person. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. I am here if you are curious or ready to begin.

Do you have a voice in your head constantly telling you that you aren't good enough? Do you feel like you're hiding your true self? Are you struggling with burnout and lack of purpose? Do you isolate to cope with anxiety? Are you longing to change but don't know how? Therapy can help! I am passionate about supporting clients in lessening anxiety, improving self-esteem, establishing boundaries, deepening communication in relationships, and identifying purpose and values to live a more authentic life.

Congratulations on your first step of wanting to transform your life. Therapy can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. I am here to help you overcome your fear of telling your story while helping you navigate your feelings. By emphasizing transparency and trust with each client, I’ve had great success in creating a safe space to share empathy, a sense of belonging, humor, and, most importantly, effective results. I believe in the importance of addressing one’s challenges by taking into account the whole person, their cultural identity, as well as recent and past life experiences that have led them to seek help. Let me help you heal!

Book with me now by clicking on my website! Many of us experience mental health challenges at some point in our lives. Sometimes, we can cope well enough with our existing support systems and internal tools. Other times, we need support in order to heal. I believe we each have the innate capacity for resilience, and that given the opportunity, we can access that resilience. My goal is to help you harness your own strength in the process of healing.

My approach is a flexible, organic experience of healing for many emotional concerns, particularly anxiety, grief, fear, shame, loneliness, guilt, sexual and creative blockages. We work to bring the hidden into the light. I embrace all gender expressions and sexual orientations. I have experience supporting a variety of relationship configurations and lifestyles, and can assist in navigating issues that can surface in these choices, such as boredom, jealousy, intimacy blockages, differing needs and desires, sexual and emotional satisfaction.

Hello, and thanks for viewing my profile. Asking for help can be difficult, and finding a good fit in searching for a therapist is essential. Therapy can help us deepen both our understanding of the problems we face and our agency in addressing them. My job is to push you to think critically about your concerns, to live with deeper meaning and purpose, and to find complexity and richness in your lived experiences. In addition to private practice work, I hold a clinical position at UC-Berkeley, and work as the liaison to the Cal Athletics Department and the Golden State Warriors.

Have you asked yourself, "How did I get here?" Do you feel like you're constantly struggling in relationships, overwhelmed by thoughts, frustrated with your body, or losing sight of your purpose? Are you stuck in a sea of expectations or between two cultures? I am passionate and determined to help you achieve your goals. You are the expert on this journey; I’m here to serve as a mirror. Together, we’ll explore how you talk to yourself, identify where you get tripped up, and uncover ways you may be sabotaging your highest potential. Let's work together to find clarity, healing, and growth.

I love solving puzzles together. What that means to me is that when we talk, I am thinking about your situation not just through your personal lens, but through the situations you currently exist in and have been in throughout your life, as well as the bigger societal and systemic context. I am a solution oriented therapist, meaning that I love to unpack stories and look at root causes, and also to focus on your goals and health in the current time. I would love to walk with you towards freedom from habits and thoughts that aren't serving you. You deserve to feel hopeful and empowered, so let's talk.

I believe, no matter how long a problem or pattern has existed, there is hope for change. Patterns in relationships can be transformed, and so can long-standing perceptions of yourself and your life. When change feels daunting, this is the moment a non-judgmental outside perspective can be helpful. I believe that therapy is a place where you can bring your entire self: your hopes, dreams, fears, traumas, pain, joy and shame. I work with you to make that space warm, compassionate, dynamic, and directed.

I specialize in a various therapy practices with a collaborative approach for young adults and adolescents (aged 16 - 30) who want to understand and change feelings of anxiety, depression, self criticism, and relationship difficulties. My aim is to listen to your concerns and support you as a whole and authentic person.

I understand therapy to be a healing process rooted in our relationship; a therapeutic relationship built on authenticity, curiosity, empathy, deep attunement, and one without judgment. My initial goal is to help you become fully aware of your distress and understand it, and work with you to relieve it in the process. I believe that you have the innate ability to heal yourself and your relationships. So in the long-term, my goal is to help you access this innate ability.

I create an experience tailored to your individualized needs and goals. Instead of sticking to a template, we’ll identify how to ensure you feel most comfortable expressing yourself. Therapy can deepen your awareness—which could mean welcoming back parts that you feel disconnected from, discovering new thoughts or ideas, or working with feelings that don’t seem to fit easily in your day-to-day life. As a result, you’ll start to better understand the unique factors that influence your relationships and behaviors: your strengths, values, intuition, and emotions. With new perspectives, you can prepare to live with greater authenticity.

I am a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) available for anxiety and trauma recovery. I am here to help with stress management, PTSD, and ADHD. I provide trauma informed therapy for people who may be overcoming a painful period of life. With a bit of work you can have a greater sense of peace, hope, and confidence.

There's a lot of talk about "survival mode" and being "stuck". Many of us are moving, often, between these two extremes. Many of us are surviving or trying to get unstuck from our bodies, our jobs, our families, coming out, college transitions, gender transitions, a relationship in a tough spot, loss, an existential or identity crisis, or coming from a place of certainty to find ourselves in these life challenges. Listen, I won't ever call you out on a place I've never been myself. I believe, fully, that there is so much life after survival. You don't have to believe that too, but I'm so glad you've arrived here.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Making the decision to start the healing journey can be a tough one, so I truly appreciate your consideration in having me walk alongside you. I support folx in recognizing their own resilience, exploring intersectional identities and sense of self, and navigating life's stressors and changes. Maybe you're experiencing a shift in your life. Maybe there are parts of yourself that you need support with reconciling and integrating. Or maybe you have experienced trauma and are ready to process it. Whatever it is, I'm excited to bear witness to your growth and be part of your journey.

Do you feel you deserve more but can’t seem to ask for it? Do you feel you are always giving but does not receive enough in return? Do you feel exhausted managing career, family and relationships perfectly, leaving very little room for caring for yourself. You know you should speak up, you know you deserve to be promoted, cared more and paid more, but can’t seem find ways to express those needs! Others might even look up to you for all of what you do and are, but you feel like a fraud sometimes for how scared and stressed you feel. How can you feel happy when you don’t believe in yourself? You just want to be good enough and loved.

I have a virtual private practice in California where I work with teens, and adults. I consider therapy a relationship we co-create specifically to suit your needs; one to help you feel safe, heard, and respected. I have a relational style, meaning you will receive feedback from me, and never feel like you're talking to a blank wall. We all share an intrinsic longing for hope, wholeness, empowerment, and meaning. It's my privilege to help clients nourish that longing into a drive; to help them gain a sense of mastery and direction in their own lives.
