Li-ting (Lys) Lin

I work with adult and adolescent clients focusing on a variety of presenting concerns including bicultural identity, divorce, domestic violence, childhood trauma, life transitions, and perinatal/pregnancy/postpartum matters. I am passionate about exploring gender roles and expectations. I love to serve, share common experiences, and celebrate culture and identity with fellow members of the AAPI community and speak Mandarin. I work with couples and families to hold space for the specific difficulties of intercultural relationships. I seek to empower clients by recognizing that social location affects mental health. Based on each client’s needs and journey, I incorporate elements of existential, IFS, CBT, and DBT approaches. In my work with clients, we focus on meaning and purpose to explore the various aspects of yourself, thereby increasing self-compassion and acceptance.
