Cindy Chau

I am a Vietnamese Chinese American, born and raised in Long Beach, with a touch of San Francisco influence from my graduate studies. With over 10 years of clinical experience in both public and private settings, I specialize in working with depression, self-sabotage, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and relational issues. My passion lies in helping people overcome internal barriers, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate lives of authenticity and fulfillment.

As a culturally sensitive therapist, I have extensive experience working with second-generation Asian Americans, immigrants, and individuals navigating acculturation challenges. I understand the complexities of balancing multiple cultural identities, intergenerational expectations, and the often-overlooked emotional toll of cultural transitions. I also work with those who have experienced the transformative power of travel—whether through relocation, immigration, or personal exploration—and the unique personal growth and identity shifts that come with it.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic, emphasizing the mind-body-spirit connection. I believe that symptoms don’t just exist in our thoughts and behaviors but also manifest physically and energetically. Using modalities such as mindfulness, somatic work, trauma-informed care, CBT, transpersonal methods, and cultural sensitivity, I help clients move beyond symptom management to deep, transformative healing.

I believe healing is not just about resolving the past but about stepping into a fuller, more conscious version of yourself. Through spiritual exploration, body awareness, and inner reflection, I guide clients toward self-trust, clarity, and emotional balance. My approach is both compassionate and direct, ensuring that we work with care, transparency, accountability, and grace on your healing journey.

I am deeply committed to working with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, military families, couples, and people from all walks of life. In my work with couples, I focus on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering deeper emotional intimacy. Whether you’re navigating cultural differences, relationship transitions, or personal healing, I provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming space to explore your challenges and reconnect with your values.

Healing is a journey of self-discovery, and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're seeking clarity, balance, or deeper fulfillment, I’m here to support you in creating a life that feels aligned, authentic, and whole.
