Dr. Chou has really helped me with my anger issues with my husband. I was always snapping at him, but she helped me find empathy and understanding when it comes to him. Now I can take a beat before becoming impatient and snapping at him. I feel like our relationship in just a short time has really improved. I will continue to work with her.

Dr. Chou is the best therapist one could ask for. She is kind, conscientious, and has a way of illuminating issues that enable me to make real and positive changes to my life. I’ve worked with Dr. Chou for over two years and she has guided me through some of life’s toughest obstacles. She is generous with her time and never makes me feel rush; she genuinely cares about me as an individual and I can wholeheartedly trust her advice.

Liang-ying has created not only a welcoming and judgment-free environment but also consistently brought tranquil, reliable, and stable energy to the space.
I worked with her for two years. There's a saying about how the client is the one sitting in the driver’s seat, and the therapist is in the copilot seat. She gave me the confidence and courage to feel like it’s okay to follow the same path until I figure out new ones, to make detours, and enter the rest stop as long as I needed. She emphasized how much I should be proud of myself. She was there with me in the chaos, even though she knew the answers from the beginning. She held space for me to grow and explore at my own pace.
As a Chinese person living in the States, my support system and work environment are mixed with both English and Chinese. Her understanding of cross-culture and fluency in both languages helped me tremendously. I felt like she could understand more of me, and there was less lost in translation.
