Working with The Bad Asian Therapist

Sick of be an Anxious, Scared Good Asian?

Breaking free from cultural might feel foreign, even impossible.

That’s okay.

I’m Alex, The Bad Asian Therapist

When you work with me, we’re not just talking about navigating cultural expectations—we’re dismantling them.

I get it. I’ve lived it.

I’ve felt the crushing weight of never feeling good enough. I know what it’s like to measure your worth by impossible standards of perfection while battling a relentless inner critic. It’s exhausting.

And there’s a better way.

Here’s the truth they don’t tell you about therapy with me—I’m not your "good Asian therapist."

I don’t sit in silence nodding while you unload. I don’t just empathize without pushing back.

Nope.

I’m the therapist who challenges you to face head-on what you’ve been avoiding your entire life.

I get real, I get bold, and I keep you accountable, not because change is easy, but because it’s necessary.

What Can You Expect During Therapy?

Working with me isn’t about fixing you (because you’re not broken).

I’m here to help you shake off the toxic expectations that have been weighing you down, reconnect with who you really are, and start thriving—not just getting by.

Together, we’ll call out the BS narratives holding you back, find real solutions, and set a higher standard—not to please anyone else, but to honor you.

What You’ll Get:

  • No Fluff, Just Real Talk: We’ll cut through the noise and get to the heart of what’s keeping you stuck—no sugarcoating, no judgment.

  • Practical, Actionable Solutions: Clear steps you can actually use to face challenges and move forward.

  • Personalized, Customized Therapy: Not everyone who steps in my office is the same. I get a chance to truly know you and work with you in a way that honors your unique story.

I’ve been where you are—I know what it’s like to feel stuck.

But I also know what it feels like to break free, and I want that for you too.

So, let’s stop overthinking, start calling out the lies we’ve been told, and start living boldly.

You Deserve to Thrive
