Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

“I feel like a failure.”

“If people really knew me, they wouldn’t want to be with me.”

“I’m scared I’ll never find the right person.”

“I feel so stuck. I don’t know how to move forward.”

“I love my parents, but somehow I always end up feeling guilty.”

Hi, I’m Dongming.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering therapy for adults and couples throughout California, in both English and Mandarin.
