Getting to know Colleen Cheung
Colleen Cheung (She/They) is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, currently supervised by Dr. Lisa Black, Psy.D. With over seven years of academic and clinical training from ELAC, UCLA, USC, and LLU, Colleen brings deep compassion, cultural insight, and clinical rigor to her workâinfused with lived experience that enriches her relational approach to healing.
Colleen specializes in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic PTSD, attachment wounds, caregiver burnout, grief (including all 16 recognized types), identity development and reformation, people-pleasing and perfectionism, process addictions, cultural dissonance, first-generation immigrant experiences, and LGBTQIA+ identities.
Colleen is trained in evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Relational-Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches. This integrative framework allows her to stay grounded in the present-moment dynamics of therapy while gently exploring how past experiences and unconscious survival strategies shape current patterns.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Colleen approaches therapy not as a process of âfixing,â but as a profound opportunity to reconnectâwith self, with others, and with the parts of ourself left behind in survival mode. She holds the therapeutic relationship as sacred. The very word psychotherapy means âtending to the deepest part of the human spirit,â and Colleen creates a space where emotions can be safely named, felt, and supported.
Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental environment that honors their full humanity. Colleen's approach is inclusive, trauma-informed, and guided by deep respect for each personâs cultural background, life experience, and healing pace.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Colleenâs therapeutic process begins by building a strong foundation of trust and connection. From there, she uses a blend of EMDR, Relational-Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and IFS techniques to support both immediate emotional needs and deeper transformational work. Sessions are rooted in the present-moment dynamics of the therapeutic relationship, while gently exploring past experiences that may still shape current behaviors, beliefs, and emotional patterns.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, Colleen partners with clients to foster long-term healing and personal growth. Her goal is to help individuals develop a greater sense of insight, resilience, and self-trustâleading to more meaningful relationships and a deeper connection with themselves.
Before becoming a therapist, Colleen lived many livesâas an athlete, fitness trainer, musician, poet, and restaurant consultant. These diverse life experiences now serve as creative tools and grounding wisdom in her therapeutic work, helping bridge the emotional, physical, and metaphysical dimensions of healing. She continues to enjoy these past roles as joyful pastimes that bring her community, laughter, and meaning.
