Amanda Hong Perry, Psy.D.

It takes an incredible amount of courage to admit our own insecurities and difficulties. To seek help through therapy requires even more determination and strength. Therefore, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment and work collaboratively to achieve your mental health goals. I integrate various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as trauma-informed models like internal family systems (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), incorporating mindfulness and self-compassion. I also provide family therapy, parent training, and couples therapy. My approach to therapy is insight and process oriented. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health symptoms are learned coping mechanisms, not personal failures. When we understand the purpose and origin of these issues, they often feel less shameful, more understandable, and more manageable. From there, we can work on building healthier, more effective ways to meet the same underlying needs. My clinical training and personal experience as a first-generation immigrant have made me mindful of the numerous risk factors unique to ethnic minorities, and I recognize the importance of providing culturally sensitive care. I am fluent in Mandarin. I also specialize in treatment for those who struggle with both psychological and medical conditions.
