Los Angeles–Based Psychotherapist, Writer, and Speaker

Hi, I’m Alyssa— and many people also know me as Lia, so you’ll see both names used interchangeably here.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with a background in social work (LCSW #65438), writer, and speaker based in Los Angeles. I work with individuals, organizations, and brands to explore mental health, relationships, and self-trust. Alongside this work, I collaborate with organizations and brands to support more thoughtful conversations around mental health and increase access to care for the communities they serve.

Corporate Client Testimonials

“We found the information very insightful. I particularly enjoyed (and resonated) with the portion of the conversation that surrounded how underrepresented groups experience mental health, therapy, and how seeking help differs from other populations.
Kahlita, Meta
“To say that Alyssa’s Presentation was excellent would be an understatement. She went beyond to give practical solutions for cultivating tools that would lead to a healthier life. Her presentation spoke directly to our organization members. The Q & A Portion was a bonus because many of us received answers related to our specific needs.”
Latonya M., Outschool
"Alyssa was everything we asked for and more for our speaker series. We loved the way she spoke to how perfectionism shows up in clinical mental health practice and her insights on psychology in general. Fantastic! Couldn’t be happier with her."

"Alyssa has a wealth of knowledge and experience for Asian mental health, and she is always willing to share her insights and expertise with others. I was particularly impressed by her participation in Pinterest's recent event on AAPI communities' mental health. She provided valuable insights and information that helped our audience to better understand the challenges and resources related to Asian mental health. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for support or resources related to Asian mental health."
