Clarence Leung, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Clarence!

I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience helping clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds navigate the challenges that life presents. As a published author and a former adjunct faculty member at Azusa Pacific University, I delight in integrating the latest research findings into my clinical practice.

My focus

My focus blends major theoretical frameworks into practical tools that empower my clients. I welcome clients from all walks of life and am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin. I have treated quite successfully clients who experience generalized anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relational difficulties, low self-esteem, and spiritual struggles.

My approach

My approach to therapy is generally eclectic with emphasis on attachment, cognitive-behavioral, existential, and psychodynamic theoretical frameworks.

My communication style

My approach is conversational, interactional, and psychoeducational. Sessions feel collaborative and client-focused, with space for dialogue and learning. You can expect a warm environment where we explore your concerns together and develop practical strategies for change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a psychologist through genuine interest in how psychology works and determination to find practical solutions that relieve human suffering. This drives my commitment to integrating research with compassionate, effective care.

My goals for you

We work toward your goals through weekly practical behavioral exercises that build momentum and create lasting change. Each assignment is tailored to help you approximate your therapeutic objectives at a manageable pace.

Our first session

We begin with an intake reviewing your developmental, family, work, and social background, followed by assessment of current functioning. We then discuss your treatment plan, including therapeutic goals, modalities, and expected duration.
