Phyu-Phoebe Htut, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Phyu-Phoebe!

I believe that each of us is are expert in our lives, and my goal in therapy is to support people in finding meaning and purpose in their lives by providing a safe and non-judgmental space. One of my favorite quotes in life is “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” by Carl G. Jung.

My focus

I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with trauma, managing anxiety and depression, or needing support in managing stress, life transition events, caregiving struggles, burn out and relationship concerns.

My approach

I work collaboratively using strengths-based, attachment-focused, and client-centered approaches to help you achieve your individual goals. I'm trained in EMDR and passionate about supporting individuals struggling with trauma to find growth and healing at their own pace.

My communication style

My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for you to reflect and process in a non-judgmental space. I prioritize mindful and authentic communication with each client, where they feel supported, and their voice is heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey started with wanting to relieve the pain and suffering of individuals struggling with emotional and mental health challenges. My struggles with difficulties on how to support the family members who struggled with mental health challenges have sparked my interest in pursuing the journey of becoming a therapist.

My goals for you

As a client-centered therapist, I like to work collaboratively with my clients in setting and working towards the goals that are important and meaningful for each client. As the journey evolves, the goals may also be evolving, as to whether you are achieving your goals and/or gaining better insights towards what you need from therapy.

Our first session

In our first session, we will be spending most of our time getting to know each other and identifying whether each of us is the right fit to support you in your therapy journey.
