About Heidi
A Therapist Who Understands
Bilingual · Trauma-Informed · Evidence-Based
Hi, I'm Heidi Xue
I'm a bilingual (English/Mandarin) licensed therapist in California. I earned my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and hold licenses as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #161649) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #22710), as well as a National Certified Counselor credential (NCC #1746999).
As someone with a history of trauma and who has lost loved ones, I can understand and relate to the many struggles you may encounter daily. I also understand that no one's experience is the same, so I tailor my therapy to meet your individual needs.
I have seen people from all different walks of life and one thing they all agree on is that they feel heard and understood by me. I have helped people overcome grief and learn to enjoy life again despite their trauma or loss.

My Approach to Therapy
My approach is to make sure every person I talk to can be themselves without the feeling of being judged. I believe everyone is unique in their own way, and I make every effort to create a safe and welcoming space for each person.
Client-Centered Therapy
I focus on your needs, creating a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental, and empathetic — increasing self-awareness and your ability to use self-direction to make desired changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
An evidence-based method that helps you manage dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns. CBT emphasizes helping you become your own therapist, focusing on the present rather than the past.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Focuses on learning to be more aware of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and situations. Instead of automatic reactions, you'll learn to choose how to respond — with greater clarity and intention.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress of disturbing life experiences. I also use Flash Technique (FT) and R-TEP for recent trauma.
Through Therapy, I Can Support You In:
