Ming Teo LCSW

My interpersonal style is very direct. I will never infantilize you and I will never judge you. If we end up being a good fit, you will leave sessions having learned more about yourself and being equipped with tools to take back control in your life. I will break down shame, stigma, and I will support you in your growth. My goal is to empower you and give the tools you need so that you can then fire me - - in that, my goal for therapy is to make it so you no longer need my help, and so that you can move onward and confidently live your best life.

I am trained in evidence-based practices such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, as well as Psychodynamic Therapy. Together, we can create a treatment plan based on your needs and what works with your personality and your learning style. I am primarily oriented in EMDR and I provide a lot of psychoeducation on neurobiology, but I will blend whichever modalities necessary to get you where you want to go. My belief is that if we name it and frame it, we can tame it - - if you are willing, I will teach you everything I have learned about the brain, human behavior, and human nature.
