Nurturing your authentic self in a demanding world.

Therapy for Asian American Women

Ready to work with an expert who really gets you?

We were raised to achieve. Success had a very specific shape: go to a good college, get the right degree(s), establish a stable career. And then what? Then everything is good, right?

Have you ever thought, “I have a good life. Why am I not happier?” Or, another variation: “I should be more grateful. Then I’d be happier and not wanting more.”

If you’re a high functioning Asian American woman, you worked hard to get here and you’re good at what you do. While you were busy building the path and getting to the next thing, there may not have been room to figure out who you are apart from the striving.

Our families taught us to push forward and survive. Few of us learned the other stuff that leads to a fulfilling life.

How to feel good regardless of external accomplishments
How to manage stress and anxiety rather than white knuckling through work and life
How to build deep and loving relationships
How to stop prioritizing “nice” over our own needs and wishes
How to cope with anti-Asian racism

It’s not too late to heal, learn, and grow. You have what it takes to build a life that feels like yours, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Here are the areas I focus on with Asian American women in their 30s and older.

Relationships and life choices
Finding a partner
Identity and self-discovery
Healing the past
Separation and divorce
Work stress
Career changes and transitions

**In this chapter of your life, let’s focus on your whole self.**

Hi, I’m Chu Hui (“Chew Hee”), aka Dr. Cha. I’m an Asian American psychologist.

I specialize in working with Asian American women in their 30s and at mid-life.

I’m a 1.5 generation Korean American woman. I left a good job with a fantastic salary and pension to, well, do this. This was not on my roadmap for being a financially secure and successful adult child of immigrants. But when I turned 40, I realized I needed to do the work that was really calling to me, even if it didn’t make sense on paper.

You don't have to blow up your life the way I did. But making that leap taught me a lot about what women in our community want, and what makes it hard to reach for it.
