Getting to know Sze Nga Lam

Hello! My name is Joanne Lam, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oahu, Hawaii. I work with clients statewide via telehealth and have over 15 years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, life-cycle transitions, trauma, and grief. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing space where my clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. My approach is always strength-based and client-centered. My theoretical framework draws from Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered therapies, combined with mindfulness and somatic experiences. I am here to walk alongside your journey of self-discovery and offer coping skills throughout your healing process. When working with couples, I use The Gottman Method to help break conflict cycles and increase emotional connection for a more satisfying relationship. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, parenting issues, adjustment struggles to life transitions, work stress, imposter syndrome, relationship conflicts, and family dynamics. Clients who fit well into my practice are those seeking to reflect on their inner conflicts and develop ways to improve self-awareness and confidence to overcome life challenges. My natural tone is calm, inviting, respectful, and personable. I recognize that starting therapy and asking for support can be difficult. It's one of the bravest and best things a person can do for themselves and those in their life. Therefore, I strive to make the process of coming to therapy feel supportive, non-judgmental, and helpful. I want my clients to leave sessions feeling relieved, encouraged, and empowered to make positive changes.
