Cheryl Tien
Bio :
My goal as your therapist is to not only help you reduce your suffering, but to help you thrive and experience greater joy than you could have imagined. I am warm, compassionate, humorous, and recognize that it is a privilege to hold your life story.
I deeply believe that mental suffering does not mean that there is something wrong with a person. Rather, systems of oppression have created impossible environments to allow people to live their full, joyful selves. My therapeutic work supports clients in examining how these systems have impacted my clients by exploring deeply held unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and actions; and identifying tools and strategies to improve their well being. Combined with 12+ years of experience in various clinical, academic, and administrative roles in healthcare, I have had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families in their healing journeys within a culturally-responsive and trauma-informed lens. I have speciality training in:
Trauma (discrimination, generational, developmental, acquired, medical, complex, sexual)
Relationship issues (communication, setting boundaries, prioritizing yourself, self-care)
Life transitions (loss, grief, death, and dying; career growth/transition)
Adjustment to medical diagnoses (sub-specialities include: cancer diagnoses, fertility issues, pregnancy loss or pregnancy decision-making, chronic pain, accidents, and sports injuries)
Problematic substance use
Psychedelic integration
Multicultural/diversity considerations (BIPOC mental health, with speciality in Asian mental health; LGBTQ+; polyamory; gender-affirming care)
In addition to therapy, I offer: community mental health workshops and services; psychedelic coaching; business and marketing consultation for new mental health professionals, and student/trainee wellness consultation for training programs. My research background includes: the impact of social media on mental health, technology and mental health; the role of art in healing/recovery, and mental health advocacy and policy. These activities inform how I provide psychotherapy and my clients have appreciated my empathetic, direct approach in integrating my knowledge of cutting-edge scientific discovery, breadth of clinical experience as a therapist, with their unique lived experiences.
Education
PsyD, Doctorate of Clinical Psychology, University of San Francisco
M.S., Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology, University of San Francisco
B.A., Bachelors of Arts, Psychology, UC Santa Cruz
Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider, Integrative Psychiatric Institute - anticipated October 2023
