My name is Samuel, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach working with men who struggle with anxiety, dating & relationships and communication. As a therapist, I’ve worked with children all the way to elder populations on anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief & loss. The past 4 years, I've focused on Asian-Americans or 1st, 2nd and even 3rd generation children because of my journey growing up with immigrant parents in the US and the challenges associated with that as well as to provide culturally competent care in the mental health field which is often lacking.

I work with both couples and individuals of all ages, and have a collaborative approach that leaves room for humor amidst intensity and gentleness amidst serious change. I have specialized experience providing sex therapy, LGBTQ+ support, Asian American culturally competent care, and counseling for multicultural identities and relationships. These therapeutic specialties further overlap with my passions for healthcare equity and activism for collective liberation. Clinical social work cannot merely be the bandaid that makes oppression easier to stomach; it should be part of the work that gets us free.

Your pain, story, identity and experiences are valid and as a South Asian Immigrant I am here to support you on your journey. I meet my clients where they are at by listening and attuning to what they say in their gestures, their quirks, and their silence. They hold the ultimate power to move forward, while I equip and help empower them with the necessary tools. I come into the sessions with the belief that my client and I will both learn something new. Clients are not just the painters of their canvases, they need environmental reinforcements to bring about their paintings to life.

Daily responsibilities can be challenging enough. Adding in stress, worry, irritability, poor sleep, sadness, conflict, or low motivation can make them feel impossible sometimes. Each person comes with their own struggles, but also strength, a voice, and the need to feel safe. I am here to support you in your process of gaining clarity and insight, whether it relates to those daily struggles or depression or trauma, and reduce at least some of those barriers.

At times, unconscious patterns get in the way of being your best self. Work, school, relationships, health, family, addiction, or financial stressors affect your daily life. Maybe you need a confidant, coach, or ally, to help guide you through difficult times and manage day to day stress. I believe that by building increased insight and awareness into these patterns leads to emotional growth, emotional wellbeing and mental resilience.

Parenthood is challenging and the road to becoming one can be equally so. Maybe you are pregnant or postpartum and wondering why this feels so hard. Perhaps you are parenting toddlers or older kids and asking yourself when it gets easier. Maybe you have experienced pregnancy or infant loss and are still grieving. You might be experiencing infertility and feeling hopeless. Maybe you're an immigrant and miss having your village of support. Whatever stage of this journey you are on, you might feel stuck, resentful and even blindsided by depression, anxiety or trauma.

Have you struggled to find a therapist who affirms your identity and respects your history, but also challenges you to face your fears?

The phrase "That's what Mom's do" has become the unwanted mantra that forces you to go, go, go. Good sleep, what's that, and it's hard to find the energy to keep going. Day after day, there’s a long to-do list that keeps you on the hamster wheel. Emotions have been all over the place, but you've been pushing through them every week. However, the pressure is building, and being overwhelmed and feeling alone makes it increasingly more difficult to keep up with everyday life and relationships when feeling this way. All you want to do is hide away and hope it doesn't all come crashing down.

That’s why we keep openings for SAME day appointments, and evening & weekend slots. Although we don’t do emergency care – we understand that sometimes it’s best to talk through something soon. I specialize in treating fellow doctors, lawyers or high-net worth individuals who require a therapist that can match their intellect and caliber. I understand how big law, three-letter government agencies and academia works – so you won’t have to waste time getting me up to speed.

In my sessions with this client, first I assess the level of trauma, help the client to build rapport with me, as well as trust. Secondly, I work to rebuild the client's life in terms of symptom management. Thirdly, the client and I form a partnership to improve relationship skills, thereby enabling the client to re-establish a sense of community. Finally, I value helping the client to rebalance his or her life in mind, body, and spirit.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
