Cindy Tang, AMFT
Specialties: Youth therapist San Diego offering culturally attuned care for teens facing trauma, depression, anxiety, and identity issues.
Hi, I am so glad you are here! I am a compassionate therapist deeply committed to creating brave spaces where children, teens, and young adults from diverse backgrounds feel seen, heard, and valued. My experiences of living in Taiwan, California, and London have given me a unique perspective on the personal, cultural, and social challenges faced by people with diverse backgrounds, particularly within the AAPI community. This multicultural background informs my practice and enhances my ability to connect with clients from various walks of life.
In our work together, you will experience an empathetic, goal-oriented approach rooted in positivity and deep listening. I believe in healing through relationships and laughter, where we explore challenges with warmth and understanding. My holistic and client-centered approach combines Narrative Therapy (NT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Play Therapy combined with art-based activities (PT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to meet your unique needs.
Whether we are working on depression, anxiety, trauma (intergenerational, childhood or personal), coping skills, life transitions, relationship issues, belongingness, identity & more, I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for growth. My practice is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own story, and together, we can navigate life’s complexities with grit and clarity.
I hold a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Graphic Design from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, an MSc in Psychology of Education from University College London in the UK, and an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University in San Diego, California. I have experience working in community mental health programs and non-profit school-based sites in San Diego.
I offer services in both English and Mandarin, ensuring that language is never a barrier to your healing. If you have more questions about my approach, please do not hesitate to reach out, I would be happy to schedule a chat with you!
