ASIAN ANXIETY THERAPIST IN SEATTLE

ASIAN ANXIETY THERAPIST IN SAN JOSE

Individual Therapy for Asian Teens, Gen Z and Millennial Adults

ABOUT

Being a young Asian American in the South Bay and the Peninsula often means navigating a complex intersection of high-stakes environments and intergenerational trauma. Individual therapy provides the mental and emotional infrastructure to help you thrive without burning out.

My approach is rooted in Liberation Psychology and Narrative Therapy. We don't just "talk about your feelings" - we actively deconstruct the cultural and systemic stories that have kept you small, silent, or stuck in a hustle. Whether you are navigating a transition to college or a job, healing from academic gaslighting, or trying to define who you are outside of your family’s sacrifices, we work to build a life where you lead from your sense of self and autonomy.

Dr. Wonbin’s Approach

  • Narrative

    Narrative

    You are not the problem.

    The "problem" is an external force (like Anxiety or Perfectionism) that has been trying to run your life. Together, we separate you from these heavy stories so you can rewrite a script that actually feels like yours.

  • Systemic

    Systemic

    You aren’t an island.

    We look at the invisible rules and patterns of your family and the culture in which you live. By understanding the "why" behind your family’s expectations, we can break the cycle of intergenerational trauma without losing your roots.

  • Post-Modern

    There is no "right" way to live.

    Society tells you there is only one path to success. We challenge that. I help you deconstruct the "shoulds" you’ve been handed to find your own authentic truth- even if it doesn’t look like the mold you have been told to fit into.

  • Liberation

    Reclaiming your power.

    We name the systems- like racism, the Model Minority myth, and gender expectations - that impact your mental health. This is about moving from surviving a toxic culture to reclaiming your inherent worth and agency.

Dr. Wonbin’s Specialty Areas

My work is dedicated to those navigating the high-stakes intersection of AAPI identity and the competitive landscape of the South Bay and Peninsula. I specialize in supporting children of immigrants as they untangle intergenerational trauma and the "invisible scripts" of family duty. Whether you are a student facing intense academic expectations or a young adult navigating imposter syndrome and workplace burnout, we work to dismantle the perfectionistic anxiety that tells you your worth is tied solely to your output.

I also provide neuro-affirming care for those with ADHD, helping you understand how your unique wiring interacts with environments that often demand rigid conformity. This isn't just about managing symptoms; it’s about healing the systemic wounds of being "the good kid" and reclaiming your right to a life that feels authentic and free.
