Louie Associates Psychotherapy & Coaching Services
Foundations of My Work.
Change occurs within a relational framework of trust, care, and a non-judgmental environment where topics can be explored.
Treatment Philosophy
I help people understand and change the patterns that live beneath their thoughts and behaviors. My work integrates body-mind connection through various methodologies such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches to help clients reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and deeper sense of self.
As an Asian-American, I am acutely aware of how culture, family expectations, shame, and the pressure to honor your family can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others.
Rather than relying solely on talking, I invite clients to slow down and notice what’s happening inside, such as their thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, impulses, images, and associated memories. This experiential approach can be especially helpful for people who understand their problems intellectually but still feel stuck in the same patterns.
Healing is Possible.
With clinical knowledge, feedback, and guidance, clients can learn to let go of past struggles, traumas, and addictions. We also offer a team-based approach to our work where we consult and ensure your case is reviewed by more than one therapist.
