GET TO KNOW ME

Hi, I'm Heather Lam a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 139893) in California. I am serving all Californians virtually through telehealth.

I am Asian-American, bicultural, and bilingual (in Cantonese). Growing up and navigating between two cultures, I am aware that culture and identity can play a big part in understanding your place in this world, being heard, and understood. With whom and where a person grows up, shapes how one sees themselves and the world. That is why I take into culture and family background into consideration of my therapeutic approach.

If you are feeling like you need some extra help in life, I work with individuals, couples, and families through an array of life's difficulties to help you become the best you.
