You work hard to appear capable and confident. But deep down, you feel anxious, doubt yourself, worry about failing, and are convinced that you are fundamentally not enough. You might recognize the weight of thoughts like, “I’m going to mess this up,” or “It’s not okay to let people down.” This often leads to a tiring cycle of seeking acceptance from others while losing touch with yourself. Childhood and relational trauma can quietly shape self-doubt and shame, leaving you feeling like something is wrong with you or that you don’t quite measure up. For many in the BIPOC and Asian American communities, this internal conflict is like a “heavy backpack” you’ve been carrying for a long time. Inside are the stones of cultural and generational burdens: the pressure to repay family sacrifices, the “mask” of appearing perfectly capable, and the underlying sense that your own needs are a burden to others. You’ve become so used to this weight that you might not even realize it’s the root of your people-pleasing and your struggle to set boundaries. It’s not just daily stress; it’s the accumulated weight of everything you’ve had to carry to survive. Hi, I’m FuFan. As a bilingual therapist (English/Mandarin) with sixteen years of clinical experience, I believe true healing begins when we learn to trust our inner wisdom and treat ourselves with genuine compassion. People come to me for non-judgmental insight and a strength-based approach to healing painful thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Therapy with me is a safe space to be comfortable with who you are. It’s where you learn that you are enough, shifting the focus from everyone else’s expectations to your own needs and self-care. Together, we will build the life you deserve—a life where you can finally take back control, rediscover your true self, and feel a safe, genuine connection with yourself and others. Healing begins when we address the root causes of the conflict, not just the symptoms. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based tool that helps reset your nervous system and significantly decrease distressing emotions. It supports you in moving past the painful, stuck experiences from childhood and relational trauma that fuel your anxiety, PTSD, and perfectionism today. I also integrate IFS (Internal Family Systems) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) with EMDR, tailoring our work to your unique needs. For those ready for deeper, accelerated transformation, I offer EMDR Intensives for lasting and meaningful change. This is a focused model designed to optimize your time and accelerate your healing journey. By eliminating the delay of weekly sessions, we condense months of progress into a concentrated timeframe, giving your system the sustained space necessary for profound, durable breakthroughs. Imagine a life where you feel genuinely calm—where the nightmares are gone and the constant noise of the past finally grows quiet. A life where you say “no” as an act of self-care and pursue success without the paralyzing fear of making a mistake. You aren't just healing faster; you are finding your way back to your genuine self sooner. Ready to start reclaiming your authentic self? It takes courage to seek support and acknowledge the need for change. I am here to walk alongside you throughout this journey. 〖 Request Appointment Here 〗 Request consultation here with any questions you have or to schedule an appointment. ---------------------------- Harmony Counseling PLLC offers telehealth services exclusively.
