About
Amy Huang
Welcome! I am a bilingual (English/Mandarin) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton and my master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Northridge.
I have clinical experience that range from a variety of settings from non-profit clinic to intensive community-based outpatient services, and school settings. From these settings, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, psychotic disorders, trauma, attachment related issues, grief, and relational stress to name a few.
My area of interest include supporting individuals in developing a healthy relationship to themselves and with others who have a history of growing up with family dysfunction or chronic childhood emotional neglect/abuse. My hope is to help you gain awareness, insight, and to increase psychological flexibility and capacity to stay in tune with your emotions to make positive changes that will improve your quality of life.
In therapy I hold an empathic and non-judgmental space for you to be your authentic self and to feel safe exploring the reasons that led you to seek therapy.
My approach is heavily client-centered with integration of cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches while pulling from other theoretical approaches as needed to best benefit your individual needs.
I will work collaboratively with you to develop a goal and tailor therapy to your needs, factoring in your history, your lived experiences, your strengths, the complexity of the issue at hand, and what you hope to get out of therapy.
I am passionate about helping clients to find inner clarity, inner peace, and to feel overall lighter to live in the moment authentically.
