I am Kit Tang, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I earned my B.A. in psychology from UC Davis and my M.A. in counseling psychology from Golden Gate University. I previously worked for the UCSF Department of Psychiatry, providing culturally sensitive therapy to clients coming from diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with children, teenagers, adults, and families. I come from a culture where there is a strong stigma around seeking help for mental health. I understand the courage it takes to look for a therapist and show up to the first session. Stepping out of your comfort zone is not an easy step, but if you’re here, you are one step closer to getting in touch with your thoughts and emotions. I am here to provide you support that is tailored to your needs on this self-discovery journey. Every individual has a unique set of strengths. I can help you to build on your strengths, better understand yourself, and improve your confidence. As a therapist, I provide a safe space for you to process your emotions and develop coping skills to manage them. My work also revolves around exploring early childhood experiences and helping clients to understand how it  impacts on their relationships. I am specialized in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief and loss. I have experience working with clients struggling with life transitions, self-esteem issues, race/ethnicity and sexual orientation, identity issues, interpersonal relationship problems, parenting issues, substance use, self-harm behavior, suicidal ideation, and unhealthy family dynamics, etc. Types of Therapeutic Modalities I Utilize:

• Psychoanalytic therapy
• Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Integrative therapy
• Culturally sensitive therapy
• Play therapy
• Art therapy

Languages: English, Cantonese, and Mandarin
