Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh

Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
Even though sessions are virtual, I deeply value creating a genuine therapeutic connection and relationship with each client. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating, and I strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and human from the very beginning. Building trust and helping clients feel truly seen and understood is at the core of my work.
