Kuan-Lin Ho, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kuan-Lin!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I love to practice EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, attachment theory, and mindfulness meditation with my clients for their healing journeys. I'd like to devote my therapy skills and compassion to supporting Mandarin and Taiwanese-speaking populations.

My focus

I'd like to serve the Mandarin and Taiwanese-speaking populations; I am very confident in working with highly motivated adults who are hoping to recover from traumatic experiences.

My approach

My theoretical background is multicultural counseling, postmodernism theory (Narrative), and family systems. My approaches are focused on EMDR, trauma, and mindfulness practices.

My communication style

I'm compassionate, ethical, and dedicated to my clients once we establish a therapeutic and working relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm originally from Taiwan. I was born and raised there until I came to the U.S. to study Marriage and Family Therapy. Before deciding on a career change, I was working in Taipei City in top-notch technology companies, and I learned that was not my passion.

My goals for you

In the first few sessions, I will be very curious about what you have been through. Then, I will discuss what I think and understand what you think about what I said, and I will propose a treatment plan. Then, I will evaluate with you periodically if we are approaching the goals and tailor them as needed.

Our first session

We will go through the office and scheduling policy, confidentiality, and safety issues.
