Psychology for the Modern World
Rediscover you
Have you been masking or hiding your true self for so long that you find yourself unsure of your own identity? Do you often wonder about your life's direction without the influence of external voices, be it from family, friends, or social media? Let me be your advocate in this journey of self-discovery.
Set loving boundaries with others
Do you often prioritize others over yourself? Do you tend to seek approval by sacrificing your own needs? Sometimes, by focusing too much on helping others, we forget to nurture our own well-being. Learn how to say no confidently to build meaningful and enduring connections.
My integrative approach is grounded in values of:
social justice & inclusivity for all
culturally sensitive and empowering
neuro-diversity affirming
client centered and client directed
non-shaming & non-judging, empathetic
existential/humanistic
poly-vagal & neurobiological based
various trauma & grief theories including intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, and prolonged grief
clinical understanding of compassion fatigue, burnout, secondary trauma, vicarious trauma, and resilience
I identify as a 1.5 generation Vietnamese/Chinese-American, neurodiverse, cisfemale. I grew up in Southern California but have lived, worked and traveled to over 50 countries. I am also a first generation college student who recognizes my privilege of higher education. I use my personal experiences of oppression and prejudice to empower others
"As a therapist, Dr. Diep is perceptive, intuitive, empathetic and uber competent. As a person, she is kind, caring, sympathetic and wise. She can also defuse most any difficult situation with a touch of humor when warranted. I strongly recommend Dr. Diep to anyone looking for a 'human' therapist."
