Hi my name is Louis An and I am an LMFT. I became a therapist to first help myself. Over time, my passion for self-improvement has evolved into a passion for helping others. I truly enjoy working with people to them overcome challenges and to find meaning/purpose to their lives. I can't help everyone, but my mission is to help as many a I can. I try my best to do my part to make a difference.
I believe in self-determination. I am not a very directive therapist that will tell clients what to do and what not to do. I believe in collaborating with clients by having ongoing discussions of different options, modalities, and perspectives. Over time, I help clients feel empowered to make their own decisions and conclusions so they can make the changes they want in their lives.
Clients that work with me usually sense my natural gravitation towards mindfulness and psychodynamic styles of therapy. It usually helps clients become more aware of their internal world and underlying unconscious programmings so they can start identifying what they need/want to change.
