Kayin Ho-ng, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kayin!

I have experience working in school-based settings, domestic violence shelters, and community mental health with diverse cultural backgrounds. I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.

My focus

I have clinical experience working with any age group, from young children to older adults. My specialty includes working with immigrants, mood disorders, life transitions, and foster/adopted populations.

My approach

I adopt multidisciplinary treatment models including family, cognitive-behavioral, reality, humanistic, and trauma-focused therapy, adapting based on your needs.

My communication style

My counseling style is humorous, genuine, and collaborative. I believe it is important to create an open, respectful, genuine atmosphere with your involvement and feedback for treatment success.

My journey to mental healthcare

In exploring personal strength, I recognize that having the heart to help others is one of my strengths. I believe everyone will encounter difficulties throughout the life process. Sometimes, all we need is a helping hand to temporarily accompany this process.

My goals for you

At your pace and through a collaborative process, I utilize the SMART goals approach: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

Our first session

I create a safe and comfortable environment to understand the nature and expectations of therapy and gather information at your pace for assessment.
