Ashley Teoh, LMSW
She/ Her
Tier II Therapist
Everyone’s healing journey is unique, and at times life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to make sense of. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, relationship challenges, or other complex life experiences, I strive to create a collaborative, affirming space where you can explore your inner world and better understand how broader systems shape your life. Together, we’ll uncover strengths, work through challenges, and move forward in ways that honor your values, while building clarity and a sense of direction that feels true to who you are.
​
As a first-generation American from a family shaped by displacement and collective trauma, I bring an attuned understanding of how culture, intergenerational experiences, and intersecting identities influence mental health. I support clients in learning how the world around them impacts their experiences while developing a deeper understanding of themselves.
​
I am passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns. Drawing on my background in community organizing and public defense social work, my practice is rooted in social justice and collective liberation, examining how marginalized identities and societal systems can shape clients’ experiences.
​
I provide virtual sessions in English/Mandarin and welcome clients of all backgrounds, cultures, and sexualities. With compassion and curiosity, I hope to support you in making sense of your life experiences – whether working through conflict, untangling past trauma, or discovering ways to connect more deeply with yourself and those in the world around you.
I'm passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for clients to freely address their concerns.
My Story
As a first-generation American, I can understand how culture, family dynamics, intergenerational differences, and other societal systems can impact the stress one may be experiencing. Growing up in a family that experienced the challenges and trauma of displacement from the Cambodian genocide, I have developed a profound understanding of the complex interplay between culture, identity, and mental health. My personal experiences have fueled my commitment to helping individuals navigate the impact of trauma, acculturation, and resilience. Considering the complex identities each individual holds, I hope to support clients in finding a path to wellbeing that draws upon their strengths and empowers them to grow into the happiest, healthiest, and most resilient version of themselves.
Therapeutic Approaches
My treatment approach is client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed, and I also integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, psychoanalysis, mindfulness, and couples/family therapy.
