I provide individual therapy to adults 18+ informed by evidence based practices (CBT and ACT), which examine the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to offer awareness, skills, and motivation to discard inaccurate, unhelpful narratives, build emotional resilience, and focus on what matters to my clients. I also specialize in helping individuals initiate and navigate major transitions in their relationships, careers, and academic pursuits. I especially welcome anyone seeking support for non-traditional identities and lifestyles, and some of the folks I see self-identify themselves as multiracial, LGBTQIA+, kinky, or polyamorous/non-monogamous.

2500 CENTRAL AVENUE, SUITE 208, ALAMEDA, CA 94501
I use a Mindfulness & Cognitive Behavioral approach to helping my clients work through issues that come up in their Non Traditional lifestyles.
I believe that human nature in its many forms is always evolving and if we are able to harness and lean into this change and learn to grow in healthy ways we can become our best selves. I seek to build a positive therapeutic relationship with all my clients to better comprehend the problems that they may be dealing with in their lives and attempt to assist them in finding healthy resolutions.
I use an eclectic approach so that I can meet each client where they are on their own personal path of life. I lean heavily on the cognitive-behavioral theory for its distinction between behaviors and thoughts and the narrative theory for its explanation of how we all use stories to interpret our lives.
I create a personalized working theory for each client to better integrate the most appropriate techniques to achieve the client’s goals. I see my role as one of facilitation and guide to assist the client in finding where it is they need to go to fix their own problems. I believe the counselor should encourage the growth of their clients, while providing a safe and confidential space for them to explore the unhealthy thinking and irrational beliefs that underpin their issues.

NEW YORK - TELETHERAPY OFFERED ACROSS THE STATE OF NY; PRIMARY LOCATION: ITHACA, NY
Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as unique as monogamous one, be it rewarding / enjoyable or challenging. Relationships can go from absolutely amazing to being on the verge of the breaking point without us even knowing how we got there. Sometimes this means that we need to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the relationship overall. This can happen through self-exploration, communication building, and renegotiating expectations, just to name a few.
Because I work with both those in relationships and individuals I know not everyone I work with will focus directly on their relationship, every client deserves someone who is affirming and accepting of who they are as an individual. I provide services to the broader LGBT community across the lifespan, including children and teens. I also make every attempt to ensure that therapy fits my clients lives and their lifestyles. This means telehealth session so that you can be in your most comfortable environment as well as late evening sessions.
But if you are looking for a therapist that will just nod or agree with everything you have to say, I am not the therapist you. But if you are looking for a therapist that is down to earth, direct, and will help you establish true goals and actually teach you the tools to reach those goals, then you have found the right therapist

OREGON, UNITED STATES. I WORK AT MULTIPLE ADDRESSES
As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.
I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.
Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.
I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships
As well as working with adults I am also experienced working with children and using play and art in therapeutic work.

Degree, Certifications, and Licensure:
I am Jessy, a non-binary and queer professional dedicated to providing compassionate and affirming care for all LGBTQ+ individuals. Fluent in both Chinese and English, I specialize in supporting diverse clients, particularly those who are BIPOC. My journey navigating my own identity and relationships, along with my background as a former sex worker, has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced within these communities.
In my practice, I offer specialized services tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals, including kink-affirming and trans-affirming care, as well as support for ENM relationships. My therapeutic approach blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic work, Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). As a longtime practitioner of the Alexander Technique, I incorporate somatic methods to help clients reconnect with and understand their bodies on a deeper level.
Currently, I am training to become a licensed sex therapist, with a focus on guiding clients through gender and sexuality exploration and addressing issues related to sex and sexual trauma. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or navigating complex issues related to gender and sexuality, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My collaborative approach ensures that your voice is heard and valued, and together, we can work towards achieving your personal and therapeutic goals.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in both Chinese and English, I am uniquely positioned to provide culturally competent care to Chinese-speaking clients. This includes navigating issues related to immigration, acculturation, and the intersection of cultural identity with gender and sexuality.
My rich background in theater, film, visual design, music, creative writing, dance, and singing allows me to integrate creative and artistic elements into my therapeutic work. This artistic integration is especially beneficial for clients who find it challenging to articulate their feelings through words alone. By incorporating these creative and nonverbal avenues for self-expression, I aim to offer a holistic approach to healing.
I am continuously involved in further education and professional development to enhance my competence in LGBTQ+ care. Iregularly attend conferences, workshops, and training sessions to stay updated on the latest mental health care practices for these communities, ensuring that I offer informed and effective care.

I work well with people who are interested in therapy and the complexities of our experiences - this could include professional decision making, struggling with complicated family relationships and dynamics, and/or the intersections of our identities. I often work with clients who feel tired, confused, scared, hurt, avoid pleasure, don’t feel like they’re good enough, outcasted, silenced, misunderstood and like they’re “too much.” They may fear that they’ll never get better, that others will leave them, that being close to someone else or loved is scary, or that they are unlovable and undeserving of love.
In our work together, I will show up committed to building trust, with an awareness of your strengths and a conversational style that adds lightness. My goal here is to join you as a collaborator in your therapy process, confidence building and exploration of any experiences that have informed who you are today.
I welcome those who are interested in therapy to a safe, strengths-based and collaborative space. This is a space where we will be learning and getting to know you! In this space your goals are yours for the taking and we can discuss anything! I will work with you to achieve your goals by utilizing a variety of modalities and interventions that aid in conceptualizing and interpreting our life experiences. As a result, you will have the opportunity to observe and dismantle and recreate patterns of behavior and put thought into what change looks like for you. Everyone is deserving of a space to process, explore, question, feel validation, challenge their experiences, and grow! I greatly look forward to working with you!
I have specialized training and expertise in working with: gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, kink, people and communities of color, relationships, trauma, sexual trauma, chronic health, body image & self-esteem, anxiety, stress, difficulties with motivation, depression and work-place stress and professional decision-making.

NEW YORK, USA
I’ve often wondered where the phrase “falling in love” came from. The “in love” part sounds great, but the hazard of “falling” is that most people get hurt when they fall. I am as much a romantic as the next person, but I’m not in favor of stumbling headfirst into a relationship (as opposed to a fling) without considering all the known risks and benefits - “known” being the crucial word. There are so many unknowns about a partner or lover that we only discover by being in relationship with them, that it behooves us to intelligently consider the known aspects as we face them. I’m of the belief that we do not choose who we fall in love with, which has some inherent risks, so the more insight we can gather about all the parties in the relationship, the better our chance of success will be.
As a therapist, I believe the best way - indeed, the only way - to face the challenges in any intimate relationship is with fearless honesty. How can I trust that my lover’s acceptance of me is genuine if I have not shown him or her my true self? But being vulnerable in a relationship is a scary proposition, and sometimes you may need the help of someone else. As a therapist, I am in a unique position to guide and coach you into learning to develop that habit of honesty, which is essential to safe and healthy intimate relationships. For ethical non-monogamous, polyamorous, or throuple relationships, the need for honesty among all parties is even more essential, and I will honor every risk you take in therapy. I will be your ally, without judgment or shame, as I support you through your journey.
