Hi, I’m Dongming.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, providing therapy in English and Mandarin to adults and couples.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin wounds, and the complexities of culture and identity.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand the patterns beneath what you’re experiencing — and find new ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter to you.
A little more about me
I’m a curious person by nature. I read a lot, especially about psychology, relationships, and culture, and I’m usually thinking about something I’ve recently learned.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking, writing, and paying attention to things I find beautiful — art, clothes, interiors, or just small details in everyday life.
I’m interested in growth, but I don’t think life needs to become a constant self-improvement project. I value having room to think, notice things, and enjoy ordinary life too.
