Getting to know Cheri Hui-Meng Tsai

I am a psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings. I received my psychotherapy training at San Francisco State University and graduated in 2012. After working at a private counseling center for 6 years, I opened my private practice in 2018 as a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in working with queer adults and Asian adults. My approach I offer traditional talk therapy, and my approach is psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. My focus My areas of interest include gay/lesbian and gender issues, sexuality, and Asian culture. I have an interest in issues of race and culture and their intersection with psychotherapy. My communication style Psychodynamic psychotherapy draws on the same model of human development as psychoanalysis, in a less intensive mode of treatment, typically 1 to 2 sessions per week. This model also looks for things that lie beneath the surface of our everyday awareness. My journey to mental healthcare I always dreamed of being in a profession where I can help people and feel rewarded and challenged at the same time. My goals for you Psychoanalysis is an intensive psychotherapy that typically involves at least 3+ session per week. This model of therapy is based on recognition of the centrality of relationships in human development and of the profound influence of our earliest relationships on our present day functioning. Psychoanalysis also understands that our level of self-awareness is always limited and that our behaviors, choices, interests, and conscious beliefs are influenced by beliefs, desires, and fears that we are not aware of. My first session with you I will typically meet with individuals for 1 to 3 consultation sessions to determine the treatment modality and frequency and to assess whether we are a good fit before starting treatment.
