Lin understands and embraces the importance of connecting with clients through her diverse professional and multicultural backgrounds, and via fluency of different languages including American English, Mandarin, & Fuzhounese.
Lin effectively creates a safe and supportive space for her clients to feel comfortable enough to shed some of the culturally-binding limits and instead courageously explore the inner-working of their own mind and human experience. Through this depth-oriented work, Lin helps guide her clients to establish a more authentic relationship to themselves, to their loved ones, to their careers, and to the society as a whole. Patients exhibiting a variety of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, to name a few, are seen and treated as whole individuals and not the symptoms that have defined their self-view.
Although treating the symptoms is a part of her clinical focus, Lin is uniquely able to conduct her therapy in a holistic way, yet utilizing some of the leading edge techniques . She is eager to collaboratively start on the journey of radical healing, and welcomes new clients to reach out to her.
