Mary Vang, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mary!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a compassionate space where you can safely explore your emotions and life experiences. I work with individuals of all ages navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges, helping each person find healing, clarity, and growth.

My focus

I specialize in working with clients navigating intergenerational and intercultural relationships, with a particular focus on Asian American experiences. I’m most comfortable helping those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues while exploring identity and cultural connection.

My approach

I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Strength-Based models. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

My communication style

In our sessions, I strive to create a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. My style is gentle yet collaborative—I’ll meet you where you are while offering guidance and insight to help you move forward. Clients often describe our work together as supportive, grounding, and empowering.

My journey to mental healthcare

Witnessing the gaps between Asian American young adults and their immigrant parents inspired me to become a therapist. I’m motivated to help families foster connection, understanding, and resilience across generations.

My goals for you

I approach goal-setting collaboratively, focusing on what matters most to you. Together, we break goals into manageable steps and celebrate progress along the way. I aim to support your growth while keeping the process flexible and compassionate.

Our first session

In our first session, you’ll have a safe space to share your story and explore your goals. Together, we’ll begin building understanding and a plan for positive, meaningful change.
