Therapy & Assessment

LGBTQ Spirituality Asian Non-Binary Therapist Psychologist Elsa Lau

You are worthy of deep connection and radical transparency

An essential pathway to braving the journey of change, discovering innate gifts, and integrating the past to cultivate a better future. Courageous self-exploration supports empowered re-storying of “who am I?” in relation to mind, body, identities, relationships, ecologies, and communities.

Your innate wisdom is always welcome because healing starts in deep relationship to where you are, this moment. I also believe that mental health is contextualized by the very real systemic issues and value structures we exist in, and have internalized (e.g., grind culture within corporate and academic institutions that center productivity over creativity, rest, and deep community). Lastly, my approach integrates cultural diversity in skills-enhancement and developing highly personalized pathways to meaningfully courageous living in these times.

Things we may explore:

(1) Past experiences that shape present challenges, and possibilities.

(2) Assessment and science-informed methods to emotional health and self-knowledge

(3) Personalized pathways to safe yet brave authenticity, creativity, and meaning.

LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Asian American, and neurodivergent teens, adults, partners, and families of all kinds who seek an affirmative and intersectional approach to mental wellness are especially welcome. We all deserve spaciousness for our multifaceted selves to be seen, understood, and celebrated as a dynamic whole.
