Anxiety Therapy & Trauma Therapy for Asian Americans
Asian American Therapy in San Francisco, CA & Seattle, WA
You have felt paralyzed by anxiety, perfectionism, and failing relationships, and you don’t know how you can finally breathe.
I’m here to help you move from anxiety and perfectionism to peace and compassion and move through your professional and relational world with more confidence and ease.
I’m here to help you navigate the complexity of trauma, anxiety, ADHD burnout, perfectionism, and cultural conditioning
You don’t have to keep carrying the stories that told you to be small, strong, or silent. In therapy, we’ll explore how cultural expectations, trauma, and perfectionism have shaped your sense of self—and start creating space for the version of you that feels authentic, free, and at peace.
Wonbin Jung, PhD, LMFT
Even the smallest things overwhelm you right now, and you just want to find a moment of peace to breathe.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re always doing something—but never feel like you’re doing enough.
Rest makes you anxious because there’s always more you “should” be doing.
You downplay your stress because others have it worse.
You can’t tell if your motivation comes from passion or fear of disappointing someone.
You’ve learned to keep emotions in, then feel guilty for wanting more.
You’ve built a life that looks successful, but still feels empty.
If you resonate with any of this, I’m here to help you navigate the complexity of it all, find a path to freedom and the life that you want to live, not the life assigned by your culture or your family.
Hi, I’m Dr. Wonbin (she/her). I’m a queer Korean American therapist specializing in ADHD burnout, trauma, and anxiety healing for Asian American individuals & couples.
I know what it’s like to grow up in a family where survival meant silence. I wasn’t the quiet, obedient child whom people expected. I was hyper-independent and defiant—not because I wanted to rebel, but because I couldn’t live with the pressure of pretending everything was okay.
It wasn’t until I met my old therapist, Kyong Mi, that something shifted. For the first time, I didn’t have to explain my culture, my grief, or why being “a good kid” still felt like a wound. She saw me fully, and I finally exhaled. That experience changed everything.
That’s the kind of space I now offer to my clients. A space where you don’t have to educate your therapist about your family, your culture, or your identities—because therapy should be about you, not about translation.
Here, you get to bring all of you: the overachiever, the cycle-breaker, the one carrying family expectations and private pain.
You don’t have to shrink or explain. You just get to heal.

Specializing in:
-
Intergenerational Trauma & Identity
We inherit more than just genes—we carry stories, silence, and survival. This therapy helps you unpack family legacies, heal generational wounds, and reconnect with your identity so you can move forward with clarity and wholeness.
-
Perfectionism & Anxiety Therapy
When success is expected and rest feels like failure, anxiety often hides behind achievement. This therapy helps Asian Americans untangle perfectionism, challenge internalized pressure, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves—beyond the gold stars and silent suffering.
-
Family & Couples Therapy
Whether it’s navigating generational divides, unspoken expectations, or communication breakdowns, this therapy creates space for honest connection. We help couples and families understand each other more deeply, repair trust, and build relationships rooted in empathy, not obligation.
-
ADHD Evaluation & Coaching
ADHD isn’t just about distraction—it’s about how your brain dances with time, focus, and emotion. Through affirming evaluation and personalized coaching, we help you understand your unique wiring, build supportive habits, and turn overwhelm & self-doubt into clarity and self-trust.
-
IFS Parts Work Intensive
There’s a reason you feel pulled in different directions—those “parts” of you are trying to protect and survive. In this IFS (Internal Family Systems) intensive, we dive deep to meet those parts with curiosity, not judgment, so you can heal core wounds, unburden your system, and lead from your calm, compassionate Self — to get you better faster than traditional weekly therapy.
