You may be arguing more days than you are getting along. Maybe you have many years of resentment built up and held inside. You have distanced yourself so much that you feel like you are nothing more than roomates. Is there any hope? I'm a Relationship Therapist. I have helped hundreds of individuals and couples communicate better, repair past hurts, and build better ways to love one another.

I have almost two decades of experience in this field. I am also a speaker, a professor, and a pastor's wife. Relationships are my passion. I have done this enough times to know what works and what doesn't. I would be honored to help you and guide you to a healthier, happier relationship. I am a marriage and relationship coach.
Services
Maybe you relate to one of the following scenarios: You are single, looking for a long term relationship. You may feel that you are either having trouble finding someone or sustaining relationships. Dealing with issues with your parents and wanting a therapist who understands Asian parents or Feeling like you are more comfortable with someone of your own ethnicity?
I wanted to become a therapist because I went through some trying times as an adolescent. I was so fortunate to have other older, wiser people come along side me to empower me, give me space to process, and give me clarity and direction. I saw the healing power of counseling. Over 25 years later, my passion for helping others continues to fuel my work.
Maybe you have many years of resentment built up and held inside. You have distanced yourself so much that you feel like you are nothing more than roomates. I have helped hundreds of indivuals and couples communicate better, repair past hurts, and build better ways to love one another. Not every therapist specializes in couples therapy.
My life's work is helping individuals and couples get better. I help couples restore their sense of togetherness by rediscovering their strengths as individuals, and their collective strength as a duo. And I help my individual clients to negotiate the sources of depression and anxiety, while moving them gently toward feeling a deeper sense of connection with their world.
As a Marriage and Relationship Coach, I help busy, successful professionals find love again so they can enjoy life. David is amazing. He was able to lead the conversation, so both my bf and I could learn more about ourselves, as well as each other. I liked that he. My bf and I have been together for 7.5 years and at this point, we were running into the same communication issues.

Lia is very easy to talk to, empathetic and a great listener! It felt therapeutic to be able to have a licensed professional lend an ear to some of the problems/trauma I've dealt with from my childhood.

Booking was easy, there's a phone number you can text message (found on her website).

Therapy wasn't a magical pill for me that fixes everything after "x" amount of sessions - a lot of the work is still going to need to come from everyday mindfulness on my end. I appreciate her for illuminating my paths and the options that I have. It's comforting to know there&apos

I could not recommend anyone better than Lia Huynh for someone who is capable of giving supportive, compassionate, and caring therapy sessions.
Signing up on Lia's website was relatively straightforward and soon I was on my way and talking to her the same day I reached out for help in order to schedule an appointment. We had a quick initial 15 to 20 minute phone call the day I reached out in order for her to get an idea of what I needed, and then we scheduled my first session shortly thereafter.
My first session with Lia was actually really great and she made it easy to open up to her about things

Lia is an awesome therapist! Through her patience and soft way she was able to guide my partner and I to a place of better and deeper understanding of one another. She took great care to discover who we were as individuals and how our respective personalities played a part in repeating conflicts. Lia was instrumental in my partner and I still staying together and her believing in us as a couple was helpful in building a stronger foundation between us. Lia is a fantastic counselor and I can't recommend her highly enough!

Lia was a great resource in helping me personally work out issues that I always had, but were definitely enhanced from the pandemic. She was a great listener and helped point out connections and patterns in my approach to problem solving.

This was my first experience in counseling and she made me feel comfortable from the very first call. I was worried that virtual meetings would not be as personable, however, she was warm and welcoming and made the environment extremely comfortable.

After 5 sessions I am in a much better place than I was in the beginning thanks to Lia's help and my mental

Lia was a great resource for my boyfriend and I through really tough times in our relationship. Both of us were hurt, stressed and feeling hopeless over our situation. Lia cut through our emotions, redirected our anger and gave us tools to help us understand each other. With her help, our sessions offered clarity and re-built the trust we needed to keep working and be successful. By implementing her advice our relationship has improved tenfold and we're communicating better than ever. We are so thankful for her efforts and loved getting to know her throughout our sessions!

My wife and I had several meetings with Lia during Covid so of course we had to meet virtually, but I can't imagine feeling any more comfortable even if we'd met in person. We had several sessions with her and by the end we had become much closer and our communication had greatly improved. We certainly wouldn't have been able to make such fast progress without Lia's help. She was very good at helping us to meet in the middle and recognize when we were both actually saying similar things, just in different ways. We highly recommend Lia for any couples looking to work on communicating

I'd say at first I was hesitant about therapy in general, but just within our very first visit with Lia Huynh my husband and I felt very comfortable with opening up to her and utilizing the tools she had to offer to strengthen our communication. She's patient, understanding, and asks mindful questions that led both my husband and I to reflect on our marriage and ourselves. For us, we were able to accomplish so much in an incredibly short amount of time through our visits, which highlights Lia's methods and experience.

As you read through these reviews you'll find a very constant

My wife and I have received counseling from Lia Huynh since at least 2015 on various issues including our relationship, on career, and on interacting with our traditional families. She has provided invaluable insight and guidance to us these past 5+ years to help us to grow as individuals, as a couple, to manage life stressors such as work and work-life balance, and to navigate a complex relationship within a collectivist, Asian family structure. I highly recommend a marriage-family-therapist to any couple, regardless of age, because this allows for an objective and non-biased counseling advice

My family have been clients of Ms. Lia for a long time. Starting with my sister, then me, then my parents haha. Despite whatever struggles I'm facing at the moment, I'm always excited to see her not just because she's an excellent therapist, but also because seeing her is like catching up with an old friend. She's so warm and kind, and she remembers many details. I'll text or e-mail her whenever I feel like I need an appointment, and then we go from there. Sometimes I just need a session or two, other times I will need many.

In my individual sessions, she's helped

Lia has been wonderful! Lia came highly recommended by our church for marriage counseling. She knows my wife and me well and remembers details we've shared. Frankly, we both like seeing Lia, which is very important to us.

For me, I personally receive great coaching on how to communicate/listen better after each time I visit. Lia is a professional and great to work with; our sessions are always time well spent.

I began seeing Lia recently and already I can see clear growth in my life as a result. Every time I step into her office, I feel safe and welcome. She is an amazing individual therapist as well as an amazing marriage therapist, as my husband also began joining my sessions. If you are going through any major life transitions while trying to heal from recent trauma/pain/baggage, it's definitely not easy. Lia has helped me move forward step by step, while helping me heal from the past at the same time. She understands the big picture and it's obvious she has years of experience counseling people.

Lia has helped me so much. I recently got married, just moved to the area, looking for a new job, trying to adjust to a new church, looking to make new friends. Nothing was stable in my life and I needed support transitioning. She has helped me in all those areas and beyond. My first time on the phone with her, her compassion and genuine concern for my situation shined through. My first meeting with her confirmed that she was the right therapist for me. I'm so thankful I found her and definitely plan to keep seeing her for the long run. My husband began joining my sessions so that he could

My husband and I come from very traditional Asian families and Lia helped us navigate the pressures of being young Asian Americans in hardline Asian households. It was important for us to find a therapist that understood the struggle of being Asian Americans. Going to Lia, you're meeting a warm and caring therapist. I was excited to go to therapy every time and left leaving empowered to apply what I learned. Lia helped me come out of my shell and discovered a stronger identity. With Lia as my guide, I was able to dispel the inner voice, that told me my voice or feelings didn't matter

As an Asian American male seeking mental help for the first time, it was important for me to find a therapist that can relate to my struggles. After weeks of constant search for someone, I finally felt comfortable reaching out to Lia. It was probably one of the best investments I've made for myself. Lia's been helping me deal with a lot of loss in my life along with coming out of a relationship. I had really low confidence and really lost my sense of purpose. I understand there are a lot of things that are still uncertain as I embark on this journey of healing, but if there is one thing

As a Christian pastor, I know we all need the salvation that Jesus Christ brings, but God has also given us health professionals to help us with our physical and emotional needs. I am so thankful for people like Lia who have a deep and abiding faith that is coupled with compassion and skill that can aid us in overcoming difficulties that we cannot face on our own.

Lia is one of my colleagues and I highly recommend her. In order to have good therapy, I think it needs to be an environment of safety and trust. She provides this environment with her nurturing and care, yet she is also wise and highly skilled and is able to equip someone with tools for their specific situation.

I've known Lia Huynh for about 10 years now as a Pastor at the Chinese Church in Christ, Milpitas where she attends. Since clients would obviously not "out" themselves by leaving a review, I would like to offer mine. Lia is a competent therapist who offers a listening ear and an astute mind to solving problems. She is able to understand the issues quickly and offer effective solutions. I highly recommend her services if you are in need of marriage and family therapy.
