Teng Vang, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Teng!

If you're feeling stuck in life or overwhelmed by various situations, you're not alone. I have helped clients navigate life's challenges, transitions, self-doubt, and other changes with respect and compassion. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in increasing your confidence so you can move forward in your life.

My focus

I'm focusing on individuals or couples who are struggling with addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, Intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coaching, ADHD, attachment issues, caregiver issues, and stress.

My approach

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. I also incorporate mindfulness or other techniques to support your unique goals and progress.

My communication style

I focus on clear and open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings. I provide active and reflective listening to help you reflect on your experiences. I also help you problem-solve and challenge your irrational beliefs. If any issues occur, you can count on me to be calm.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a therapist stems from a profound desire to empower individuals to discover their inner strengths amidst life's challenges. I firmly believe that every person possesses the potential for growth, healing, and transformative change.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we will set goals that are important to you—whether that involves improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we will adjust your plan to ensure it remains meaningful and supportive as you work towards your desired outcomes.

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and talk about what has brought you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous—therapy is a journey that we will navigate together over time. We will take things at your own pace, step by step, and I will be here to guide you throughout the process.
