Aura of Hope Psychotherapy
At Aura of Hope Psychotherapy, we work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they’ve tried to change—whether that looks like anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, perfectionism, or feeling unsure of yourself.
You might be navigating academic or career pressure, strained relationships, family dynamics, or questions around identity and self-worth. Many people we work with feel torn between external expectations and their own needs, or find themselves repeating the same cycles despite insight and effort.
Our therapists take an integrative, client-centered approach. Sessions often focus on understanding emotions, patterns, and relationships, while also using practical cognitive and behavioral tools. When helpful, we incorporate parts-based and body-aware approaches to support deeper, lasting change. Therapy is always tailored to you—there is no one-size-fits-all treatment here.
We work with students, young professionals, first-generation individuals, and adults balancing multiple roles and responsibilities. Whether you are new to therapy or returning after past experiences, our goal is to offer a space where you feel understood, respected, and supported at your own pace.

I felt so much relief after talking to her. She really did understand my frustrations and helped me understand my problems.
SLVerified patient
From the first session, Phyllis made me feel safe and put me at ease. Going through a distressing time and my head was left spinning, she made me feel truly understood, helped me understand my own feelings, and worked with me on my own unique healing journey. Always thoughtful and prompt, each session felt productive but especially because I always felt comfortable and she made the space feel like it was easy to connect in. I always look forward to our sessions and I cannot thank and recommend Phyllis enough!
MWVerified patient
Phyllis has a calm, compassionate presence and asks thoughtful questions that helped me gain clarity on feelings and patterns I hadn't fully recognized before. Rather than simply listening, she guided me in exploring my experiences with curiosity and without judgement, which made each session feel both safe and meaningful. I'm incredibly grateful for her support and the positive impact she's had on my personal growth. I would wholeheartedly recommend Phyllis to anyone looking for a therapist who is genuinely caring, insightful, and dedicated to helping her clients thrive.
JCVerified patient
Shuang held a safe space for me to unpack my difficult emotions. I feel really heard and supported every session. She has helped me understand a lot more about myself which I really appreciate.
TWVerified patient
Shuang is a great listener. She's kind and very understanding, and she's good at teaching me practical tools instead of just talking things through.
SHVerified patient
She was very attentive and really listened to my needs, concerns, and stresses. I felt heard and understood throughout our sessions, and she created a comfortable and supportive environment where I felt like I could openly express myself.
KWVerified patient
Meeting with Shuang was such a refreshing experience. I've never had a provider who communicates so openly, and it made a real difference. She picks up on things I don't say out loud and knows when to nudge me forward versus when to just let me sit with something.
ZYVerified patient
i have been seeing Shuang for a while now and have had a consistently good experience with her. she is warm and easy to talk to, and she creates a space where i never feel judged for anything i bring up. i'd recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who's genuinely kind and takes you seriously.
AXVerified patient
Shuang is amazing! She is so patient and kind, and has really helped me visualize my goals. I feel like I have grown a lot because of her.
TCVerified patient
He is such a warm and genuine person. His advice is truly helpful! ????
OPVerified patient
I was honestly nervous about starting therapy and thought it might feel super awkward, but Tyson made it feel pretty normal from the beginning. He’s chill, easy to talk to, and somehow asks the exact question that makes you go, “wait… why do I actually do that?” Definitely recommend.
LWVerified patient
I found Tyson because I was looking for someone who speaks Mandarin and understands the pressure that can come with family and cultural expectations. I didn’t really know what I wanted from therapy at first, I just knew I was stressed, overthinking a lot, and feeling stuck with school, career decisions, and some relationship issues.
What I like is that I can switch between Mandarin and English when something is easier to explain one way or the other. Tyson is pretty easy to talk to and doesn’t make the conversation feel overly clinical. He’ll sometimes point out a pattern or ask a question that I don’t immediately agree with, but it usually gives me something to think about afterward.
Therapy has helped me understand where some of my anxiety and self-doubt come from and be a little less hard on myself. I’d recommend him especially to Mandarin-speaking clients dealing with academic stress, family pressure, relationships, or major life changes.
ZCVerified patient
I had a hard time finding a therapist who really understood both men’s mental health and the Chinese family/cultural side of things. With Tyson (Chen-Chuan), I don’t feel like I have to explain why certain expectations or family dynamics affect me the way they do. He’s very easy to talk to and doesn’t make therapy feel stiff or awkward. I’ve really appreciated working with him and would definitely recommend him.
PCVerified patient
Tyson is super easy to talk to and makes therapy feel way less awkward than I expected. He actually listens, asks really good questions, and never makes me feel judged. I’d definitely recommend him.
MLVerified patient
There have been times when I’ve brought something up casually and Tyson remembered it weeks later when it actually became important. That sounds small, but it made me realize how closely he listens. He’s thoughtful about what he says and doesn’t rush to fill the silence or give advice. I feel like there’s real care behind the work, and that has made it much easier for me to be honest in therapy.
LWVerified patient
I wasn’t really sure therapy was going to be for me, but I had gotten to a point where I was exhausted from overthinking everything and feeling like I should be able to figure it all out on my own.
What I like about working with Tyson is that he doesn’t make things feel dramatic or overly clinical. I can come in with something that seems small, like a conversation I keep replaying or a decision I can’t make, and we usually end up getting to what is actually underneath it.
He’s helped me notice how much of my stress is connected to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and being afraid of disappointing other people. I’ve also gotten better at setting boundaries and not immediately assuming I’m doing something wrong when there is conflict.
I still have plenty to work on, but I feel a lot less stuck than I did when I started.
JMVerified patient
I started seeing Tyson because I was struggling with anxiety and relationships and would overthink almost every interaction. I had a hard time trusting my own feelings and speaking up for what I needed.
Tyson is calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. He asks good questions and has a way of helping you look at things differently without making you feel judged or pushed. I’ve really appreciated our conversations and would highly recommend him.
YGVerified patient
Moving to the U.S. brought up a lot more than I expected. Between school, career pressure, being away from family, and trying to figure out where I fit, I felt pulled in a lot of directions. Tyson understands what it is like to go through that kind of transition, so I never felt like I had to explain the whole background before we could get to the actual issue. That has made therapy feel a lot more comfortable and useful.
LCVerified patient
I was bullied as a child, and I didn’t realize how much it was still affecting my self-esteem and the way I saw myself as an adult. Working with Tyson helped me understand where some of that insecurity came from and stop being so hard on myself. I’m in a much better place now and feel more confident speaking up for myself and setting boundaries. He’s easy to talk to and never made me feel judged.
JWVerified patient
Growing up Taiwanese, I always felt like I was supposed to do well, make my family proud, and keep pushing toward the next thing. Somewhere along the way I think I lost track of what I actually wanted for myself. Working with Tyson (Chen-Chuan) has been helpful because he understands that cultural pressure without me having to explain all of it. He asks questions that have made me think more about who I am outside of achievement and other people’s expectations. I’ve really valued our sessions and would definitely recommend him.
LWVerified patient
Empathy is what I was missing for when I was working with my previous Mental Health Providers.
It feels good to have someone who is empathetic, provides a better perspective, with cultural competency and speaks Mandarin; as your therapist.
I highly recommend Chen-Chuan (Tyson) if you are looking for a therapist.
LYVerified patient
Chen-Chuan Wang is warm, compassionate, and very easy to talk to. He creates a safe and comfortable space where you can openly share any challenges, stress, or difficult emotions you may be experiencing in your daily life. He listens with patience and understanding, and helps you explore your thoughts and feelings from different perspectives. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and trustworthy counselor. He is definitely the one who can feel like a caring partner as you work through life’s ups and downs.
JHVerified patient
He is really kind, warm, and very easy to talk to. He creates a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my concerns. I felt heard and supported throughout my visit.
IWLVerified patient
Tyson is a thoughtful and compassionate person. He takes time to truly listen without judgment and creates a space where I feel understood. His genuine care make him someone I would recommend to anyone seeking support!
FGVerified patient
I feel better after the first session. Yihan is very kind and truly listens to me. I’m looking forward to our future sessions
KCVerified patient
I've been seeing Yihan for a few sessions, and I genuinely feel that my mental health has been improving. As a former international student and now a young professional, I have faced struggles that can be difficult to explain or find the right audience for.
I sometimes become stuck in obsessive thought patterns and hold certain values too rigidly, which can make me less happy. Because I had often felt judged in the past, I was nervous before my first session. However, Yihan quickly created a safe and nonjudgmental space and listened closely to my experiences.
I tend to become philosophical when reflecting on my past, but Yihan is usually able to understand what I am trying to express. She also asks thoughtful questions that help me untangle my thoughts and find a way forward when I feel stuck. I really appreciate her empathy, openness, and insight, and I would highly recommend her.
YGVerified patient
Amazing provider! Really enjoyed working with Yihan, she's really genuine and patient. She's excellent at asking questions that help explore my emotions and where they came from. Definitely had a deeper understanding of myself and my experiences after talking with her!
JCVerified patient
Yihan is extremely patient. She listens and cares and is able to not only explain what is going on but also how I should deal with my issues. Thank you Yihan!
HLVerified patient
As a Japanese woman working in the U.S., I’ve often felt caught between very different expectations around work, communication, independence, and how much emotion you’re supposed to show. With Yuko, I don’t feel like I have to explain why certain things feel complicated. She understands the cultural context behind them, but she also helps me think about what I actually want for myself rather than simply following what is expected of me. Our sessions have helped me become more confident in setting boundaries, speaking up at work, and finding a way to live here without feeling like I have to choose between my Japanese identity and the life I’m building in the U.S.
SAVerified patient
Yuko is really experienced and very thorough with her approach.
She's really patient and uses different ways to get you where you want to be. The coping skills that I have built over time have been invaluable; I will continue working with her.
I highly recommend her.
HUVerified patient
Yuko has been incredibly supportive in helping me understand my relationship with alcohol and the emotions and patterns connected to it. I never feel judged or shamed in our sessions, which has made it much easier to be honest about things I usually have a hard time talking about.
She helps me look beyond just the behavior itself and understand what I may be coping with underneath it. I really appreciate that she is compassionate while still helping me take accountability and think about healthier ways of managing stress and difficult emotions. I’ve felt more aware of my patterns and more confident in the changes I’m trying to make since working with her.
PPVerified patient
I’ve really appreciated working with Yuko. She makes it easy to talk honestly about things I’ve felt embarrassed or conflicted about, especially around substance use and the ways I cope when I’m stressed or overwhelmed. I never feel judged or lectured. She helps me slow things down, understand what is driving certain patterns, and think through changes in a way that actually feels realistic for me. I’ve become much more aware of myself through our sessions, and I feel like I’m making progress without feeling pressured to be perfect.
YSVerified patient
I highly recommend working with Yuko!
APVerified patient
Ananda was wonderful! She was very understanding and compassionate! The space felt safe and not intimidating or overwhelming. She also has a very beautiful and reassuring smile that brings absolute joy and comfort!! I am so excited that I found her!
Leah G.Verified patient
Super genuine and professional, and very good at listening to my problems and helping me understand myself better.
DMVerified patient
Parri was super kind and helpful throughout the visit I had! She was not difficult and stayed patient with me while I struggled early on to correctly voice out my problems and then was able to help me in finding a solution to my problems.
MMVerified patient
Truly welcoming, comforting and safe to talk to!
JGVerified patient
My experience in therapy has been truly transformative. My therapist is incredibly empathetic, patient, and knowledgeable. She provides a wonderful balance of compassionate listening and practical, actionable tools that I can use in my day-to-day life. I am so grateful for their guidance. Highly recommend!"
MEVerified patient
Patient and compassionate! I’m really glad I decided to work with Parri. I was pretty nervous about starting counseling, but she made me feel more comfortable. She asks thoughtful questions that have helped me look at things differently and understand myself better. I always feel heard and supported during our sessions and I really appreciate her warm and caring approach.
