With my 10+ years of experience providing psychotherapy at both inpatient (Sierra Tucson) and outpatient treatment centers, I’ve developed a unique Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that utilizes many aspects of inpatient treatment as well as an effective therapy I created based on my own life experience and professional work I’ve done over the years. My IOP is designed to end your suffering in as few as 12 sessions in 30 days.
Clients who have utilized my program have reported that they experience the power of NOW, free from their pasts, and facing future with self-confidence. Often my clients experience a brand new sense of self, that is unfamiliar yet joyful!
You may be wondering …
** Why do I choose you instead of other therapists or another IOP?
- With the combination of my Eastern cultural background, Western psychology education, and professional experience in treating people with severe anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction, I have a deeper understanding of what you are going through and can give you specific tools to establish a solid foundation for your recovery.
- Unlike traditional IOP where the work is done mainly in a group setting, my program is individual based, and you have my attention solely focused on you.
- My program consists of 4 unique components which no other therapists or IOP currently offer. They are EMDR, DBT, CBT and my signature therapy “Inner Twin Work” which are the strong elements to build a solid foundation for your recovery. Please see detailed information under Treatment Modalities page.
- Having received traditional Chinese education, my teachings are heavily influenced by Lao-Tzu’s Taoism: “Tao does nothing, but leaves nothing undone.” meaning you too, have the ability to live a life full of love, peace and joy effortlessly!
- Having personally experienced great benefits from daily meditation, I include specific meditation techniques to help you manage your racing thoughts, and learn to manifest those things that you desire in life.
- Due to my program is spiritual based, and it is designed to treat the root of your problems, once you complete this program, more likely you will experience the overall improvement in all aspects of your life!
- My approach to my clients is loving, encouraging and creative. My personal life experience of trauma, anxiety, depression and addiction has become a blessing to all of my clients. I can relate to your pain and provide you the roadmap for healing. I did it, and so can you!
** Do I need this level of intensive therapy?
If you’ve tried to do the therapy work on your own, or you’ve been in treatment for more than 2 months and not experienced your desired outcome, it’s probably because:
- You’re dealing with acute issues that require more intensive therapy,
- Traditional talk therapy is not effective for you,
- You experience frequent relapses,
- The unresolved issues needed to be addressed in EMDR,
- Your lack of connection with your Higher Power, your Authentic Self,
- Your lack of tools to cope with stress,
- Your therapist is not a good match for you,
- Your therapist is a match for you, but he/she is not available most of time when you needed them.
If you are really tired of living your life in so much pain and fear, and you are aware of what needs to happen at this time of your life, then my program will help you address all of the above issues. You and I will find out if we are a good match by having an initial telephone consultation.
** Realistically speaking, there is not a lot of time in 12 sessions, it’s hard for me to comprehend how much work I can accomplish.
What makes my program effective is that
- The foundation work of my program is the “Inner Twin Work” which means once you are connected to your Authentic Self (Higher Power), “your power cord is plugged in”. This will increase your ability to experience the internal support and help you become motivated and more capable of taking action, and leading to rapid and positive results!
- Unlike traditional therapy session lasts one hour only, in my program each session lasts between 90 to 120 minutes, which allows you to practice and ask questions about the tools you have just learned.
- Between sessions, you are encouraged to check in with me by phone or emails so I can help you process any issues that overwhelm you. I will prompt you to use the healing tools I have provided you with, and eventually you’ll learn to use those tools on your own. When meet in our next session we can then move on and continue with further progress.
- If you have attended traditional weekly therapy sessions, you know how much time is wasted giving your therapist updates at the beginning of each session about your past week. With our phone and email sessions (free of charge), and the fact we meet 3 times a week, you spend very little time to giving updates so we can get right into the therapy work.
- During our therapy work, you will be assigned books to read in order to increase your insight regarding specific issues you are dealing with. You are encouraged to journal your insights about the readings, and process those with me whenever you feel the need.
- Based on my professional assessment, the root of the issues will be identified, and the 4 kinds of treatment modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Inner Twin Work) will be spontaneously used.
- You will be given a handbook that includes handouts summarizing what I have taught you in our sessions. This will save you time because you will take fewer notes, and will allow you to easily review what we have covered. For detailed information, please see the “Curriculum” on the Services page.
- You will be introduced to a healthy lifestyle, a daily routine that consists of a balanced diet, regular exercise, daily meditation, fun-time and recovery work. At the end of 12-session treatment, you have a taste of how it feels to be healthy physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
** I have been in and out of rehab treatment centers many times in my life and I feel there is no hope…
My professional assessment of people who experience frequent relapses is that the majority of them have difficulty connecting to their Higher Power. Even though they know what to do to in order to stay clean and sober, there is something missing from their emotional and spiritual tool box--feeling whole and complete, and being in one with the Universe. Therefore, it is easy to fall back on their old lifestyle, which leading to relapses.
My program is spiritual based. The first thing you will experience is connecting with your “Authentic Self”, and then developing a nurturing relationship with yourself. With this solid foundation, you will be able to do the necessary “house cleaning” work. That means processing all of your unresolved issues, and using the tools I provide you to replace negative thinking patterns with positive ones.
My goal is to help you build a spiritual foundation, and give you the tools that you need to continue staying on the path of recovery. You will experience a lifestyle change and once you experience how good you feel about yourself, it will be difficult for you to go back to your old ways of living. The possibility of relapse will decrease and your ability to trust yourself, and continue to build your self-confidence will increase.
** I don’t believe in God, and I have a hard time to adapt 12-step program, how am I going to be connected to my “Higher Power”?
I created “Inner Twin Work” specifically for people who don’t believe in God, yet still being able to experience the loving connection with their “Higher Power”. You have a Twin that lives inside of you, who speaks truth to you, your Twin is a representation of your “Authentic Self”, “Higher Self”, and “Higher Power”, also known as your “Conscience”. For most people, it is difficult to form a relationship with the abstract invisible “Conscience”. My specialty is to help you reconnect with your true self. Once this work is done, your are not going to feel lonely and fearful, and you will experience the love, peace and joy 24/7 no matter what is happening around you!
** I’ve never heard of “Inner Twin Work” before, what are the responses from your clients?
I am writing a book titled “Before I die, I would like to meet ME”, this is a self-help book which illustrates a step-by-step guide for people to connect to their “Authentic Self”—the Inner Twin, and establish a secure, loving, and nurturing relationship with themselves.
The followings are comments from my clients who have done “Inner Twin Work” facilitated and taught by me:
- “Excellent therapeutic approach—Inner Twin allows me to access my rational/helpful self! “
- “I had given up and give away responsibility for myself. Inner Twin Work helped me to feel safe, so that I could take responsibility for myself, for my recovery and for my life. “
- “After the session, I no longer felt empty or lonely. I felt lighter, happier and stronger. We (My Twin and I) now have a wonderful relationship and I firmly believe this relationship has been the key to my recovery of depression.”
** What if 30 days have passed and my condition has not improved?
Some of my clients had a lot of anxiety about the outcome of this treatment, especially in the first week of treatment. Even though there is no guarantee for the outcome of the treatment, based on my years experience providing intensive therapy, it is clear that when you are ready to do the work, you have an open mind to see what’s on your plate, and you are determined to do whatever it takes to heal yourself. The outcome is almost always positive!
For the work I have done with my clients, I am very grateful that I have witnessed their spiritual growth, and I too, have learned and been inspired to reach a higher level of consciousness.
With my client’s permission, I’m honored to share her success story with you. Her first name has been changed to protect her identity:
Morgan’s Story:
Morgan came to me with severe depression. About nine months ago, her depression worsened after being laid off. All day long, Morgan couldn’t stop replaying the tape—the day she was given the shocking news that she was no longer needed by her employer. Even though Morgan got another job quickly, life changed for the worse. Morgan was constantly on guard, anxious and fearful without any reason. Morgan lost interests in her life. Her depression affected her romantic relationship with her partner. She didn’t want to go to work, she was irritable, withdrawn, and full of self-loathing. Morgan felt like she was stuck in a deep black hole, and no matter how hard she tried she could not get herself out of it.
Today, Morgan lives a life that is full of love, peace and joy! She is no longer a hostage of her own fear! She has let go of her pasts, and she now faces her future with total self-confidence. Morgan reported that the work she has done with me not only provides the cure for her depression but has a positive effect in all aspects of her life!
You have the power to heal yourself! You can turn your life around by giving yourself the permission to heal. Don’t expect the miracle, BE the miracle that you are!
