Melissa Ma

Therapist

LMFT

Virtual

I was born and raised in the Bay Area by parents who were immigrants from Vietnam. My greatest strength I can share with you is my understanding of the importance of cultural identities and navigating against systems that may clash with your values. I believe change happens when we are ready to step out of our comfort zones and in my approach, I aim to balance challenge with compassion. I believe everyone has a voice deserving to be heard and I will provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to express yourself. I’ve spent the last 5 years guiding clients towards healing, acceptance, and self-compassion while they battled with challenges such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, and/or trauma. I take a humanistic and holistic approach to wellness that promotes self-discovery and strengthening the mind-body connection. I integrate narrative, attachment-based, mindfulness, and other evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
