Amy Woh, LMFT — Online Therapy Across California

You don't have to hold it all together你不必再独自撑起一切

You've done everything right — the degree, the career, societal expectations. From the outside it looks like success. But somewhere between who you were raised to be and who you really are, it started to feel *heavy.* Therapy is where you finally get to *set it down.*

你一路走来都做得很好：学业、事业、社会或家庭的期望。在外人眼中，这就是成功。但在虚幻的你与真实的你之间，一切渐渐变得*沉重。*心理咨询，就是让你终于可以*放下*的地方。

How I can help我能提供的帮助

Care that understands your worlds.了解你的文化背景的支援。

Anxiety & burnout焦虑与倦怠

When your mind won't switch off, we rebuild rest, calm, and momentum — one day at a time.当思绪停不下来，我们一起重建平静与前进的动力。

First light破晓

Identity shaped by external expectations被期望塑造的自我

Honor your roots and your own voice at the same time — without having to choose between them.在尊重根源的同时，也听见自己的声音——无需二选一。

Full sun日正

Depression & feeling disconnected忧郁与疏离感

Cultivate a life that feels more meaningful, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.培养更有意义、更真实、更符合你真实自我的生活。

Golden hour暮金

When your mind won't clock out.当大脑无法离线。

You're the reliable one — the strong student, the steady employee, the child who never caused trouble. But lately the pressure hums all day: racing thoughts at 3 a.m., a chest that never quite unclenches, a to-do list that follows you into the shower. High-functioning anxiety hides well. It just never rests.你一直是个可靠的人——成绩优异的学生、稳定优秀的员工、从不让人操心的孩子。但如今压力整日嗡嗡作响：始终无法放松的胸口、连洗澡时都在追赶的待办事项清单。高功能焦虑很擅长隐藏——只是它从不休息。

In our work together我们将一起

Quiet the 3 a.m. overthinking and rebuild real rest安抚凌晨三点的过度思虑，重建真正的睡眠
Set boundaries at work and at home — without the guilt在工作与私生活中设立界限，而不被内疚淹没
Trade self-criticism for a steadier, kinder inner voice用更稳、更温柔的内在声音，替代自我批评
Learn calming tools your body actually responds to学习让身体真正放松下来的实用方法

Warm, practical care drawing on CBT, mindfulness, and depth-oriented work.温暖务实：结合认知行为疗法、正念和深度取向疗法。

The role you've learned to play.学会扮演的角色。

For people who've spent so long meeting others' needs or living up to expectations that they're no longer sure who they are outside those roles.对于那些长期以来一直在满足其他人需求或迎合期望的人来说，也许你不确定自己在这些角色之外是谁。

You don't need to become someone new. The work is about uncovering who you've always been beneath the expectations, protective strategies, and stories you've learned to carry.你无需变成另一个人。关键在于发现，在那些你习得的期望、保护策略和故事之下，你一直以来真正的自己。

Together, we'll identify the patterns that no longer serve you, process the experiences that shaped them, and create space for choices that reflect your values rather than fear, obligation, or the need for approval.我们将一起辨认那些不再适合你的模式，梳理塑造它们的经历，并为真正反映你价值观——而非出于恐惧、义务或对认可的需要——的选择腾出空间。

When depression isn't the whole story.当忧郁并非全部真相时。

Sometimes the greatest struggle isn't visible to others. You may appear successful, capable, and high-functioning while privately feeling empty, unmotivated, disconnected, or weighed down by depression. You may find yourself asking, "I've done everything I was supposed to do — why doesn't it feel like enough?"有时，最大的挣扎并非他人所能察觉。你或许看起来成功、能干、高效，但内心深处却感到空虚、缺乏动力、与世隔绝，或被忧郁压得喘不过气来。你可能会问自己：「我已经尽力了——为什么感觉不够？」

Together, we'll explore both what's happening in the present and the deeper experiences and patterns that have shaped how you relate to yourself, others, and your life.我们将共同探索当下正在发生的事情，以及塑造你与自己、他人和生活关系的深层经验和模式。

Hi, I'm Amy. 你好。你好，我是 Amy。

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with fourteen years of experience — and bilingual and bicultural myself. For more than a decade I've walked alongside Asian-American students, young professionals, and adults navigating the tension between their family's expectations and their own needs and values. I know what it's like to live between languages and worlds — and how much lighter life feels when someone truly gets both sides of your story.我是持牌婚姻家庭治疗师，拥有十四年的临床经验，自己也是双语、双文化背景。十多年来，我陪伴许多亚裔学生、年轻职场人与成年人，走过家人期望与自身需求、价值观之间的拉扯。我深知在两种语言与两个世界之间生活的滋味——也知道当有人真正理解你故事的两面时，生活会变得多么轻盈。

Sessions are online across California — in English, Mandarin, or the mix that feels most like you.咨询在加州全境线上进行，可用英文、中文，或最像你自己的那种混合方式。
