Ka Ming Lam, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ka Ming!

Life is full of challenges. Some break us down to tears. I believe therapy is a safe place for us to sit down and examine our lives. In therapy, we work on sorting out feelings, reflecting on self and what happened, and eventually overcoming the obstacles. I am happy to be the person to sit down with you and listen to whatever you are facing.

My focus

I am looking for adult clients who are ready to dive into their issues and tackle them.

My approach

I believe people always pick the best option with the given information. My job is to sit down with my client and take a look at the roadblocks that stop people from achieving their goals. When needed, I am more than happy to share my expertise and guide my client.

My communication style

Communication is a two-way street. I like to make it a fair ground for us to understand each other as much as we can. It is my duty to make our session as non-judgmental as possible so you can be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I remember my family saying I always paid attention to people's emotions. I was also fascinated by the complexity of the human brain and thought process. So naturally, I chose Psychology as my major.

My goals for you

As I mentioned earlier, I believe clients always choose the best option with the given knowledge. And when we put our heads together to examine and overcome the roadblocks, they will be able to get to their goals.

Our first session

A first session with me will be like showcasing your home and mind with me. I will be there actively listening to you and asking questions to help us look at the issues clearly.
