Junyi Ma
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Social Worker (LSW), Psychotherapist
I specialize in EMDR and trauma treatment. I work mainly with Asian/multicultural/immigrant clients.
I'm passionate about supporting different generations of Asian immigrants, multicultural individuals, and other marginalized populations to deal with life challenges including trauma, complex trauma, intergenerational conflicts, self-esteem issues, life transitions, acculturation, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress, grief, and ADHD. I work mostly with different generations of immigrants, multicultural individuals, and other marginalized communities. The approaches I use include Trauma-focused, Client-centered, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, Strength-based, Culturally-sensitive, Somatic, Neuroscience-informed, and other therapy approaches. I'm also trained in EMDR and incorporate it in my sessions to support clients who wanted to focus on healing from trauma and C-PTSD. I take unique personal experiences into consideration, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe, positive, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for your healing journey. If you are having trouble managing the challenges in life or have had difficult life experiences that are still affecting your emotional well-being today, I’m here to support you.
