Meet Jenny Lau
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in supporting individuals facing trauma, including complex trauma and dissociative disorders, adolescents, children over 7, people of color (AAPI & BIPOC), and healthcare professionals.
My integrative approach explores thoughts, emotions, behaviors, parts, and systems, using experiential activities like art and EMDR.
As a 2nd-generation Chinese-American woman, I know how hard it is to feel caught between different worlds, bear the weight of cultural expectations, and figure out who you are in the midst of all of this.
As a former doctor, I understand firsthand the unique pressures of medical training and working in healthcare - including navigating burnout, perfectionism, and uncertainty about your career path.
Drawing on more than a decade of clinical experience across medicine and mental health, I take a holistic approach to therapy that considers how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape your well-being.
My aim is to provide a safe space where you can feel genuinely heard and understood, show up as you are without feeling the need to hold parts of yourself back, and challenge yourself to work through difficult experiences and create meaningful change.
A lotus arises from
grimy depths and
blooms with brilliant beauty.
Similarly, I believe that individuals can grow into their truest potential despite enduring adverse circumstances; I am devoted to cultivating the space needed for that process to occur. I strive to maintain the balance of validating what we have been through in the past and choosing to move towards fulfillment and the future.
The lotus is a symbol of spiritual enlightenment and equanimity - the state of achieving inner equilibrium. If you are seeking this, it is a journey we can embark on together.
The lotus is also indicative of my Asian heritage, as it is a symbol commonly used in many Asian cultures. I help provide representation for my ethnicity within the mental health provider field and aspire to be an inclusive therapist.
