Philosophy:
Ally Counseling and Therapy is a BIPOC women-owned, multicultural and multilingual group practice. We believe meaningful therapy begins with relationship—being genuinely seen, understood, and met within the context of your culture, identity, relationships, and lived experience. Our practice is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, and culturally responsive. We welcome people across gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship structures, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences. We believe therapy should go beyond insight alone. Our work helps people develop a deeper understanding of their emotions, bodies, relationships, intimacy, and patterns while creating opportunities for new experiences and meaningful change. We value collaboration and agency: therapists are not here to tell clients who they should become, but to bring clinical expertise into a process that respects each person's values, choices, and capacity for growth.
Other Information:
We go beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating approaches that work with emotion, relationships, the body, and memory. Our team is trained in EMDR, AEDP, IFS, Brainspotting, Art Therapy, Sex Therapy, and couples approaches including EFT and Gottman Method. Our work is integrative, relational, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive. We are a multicultural and multilingual group practice offering individual and couples therapy. Our clinicians provide services in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean, with in-person and telehealth options.
