Queer Asian Therapist in San Francisco, CA | Seattle, WA | San Jose, FL

Welcome, I'm Dr. Wonbin – Your Ally in Navigating Your Journey to Authenticity and Connection

As a queer, trans-affirming therapist, I’m here to offer you a safe, compassionate space to explore and embrace all that makes you, you. Whether you're navigating the complexities of your gender identity, working through relationship dynamics, or seeking to heal from past trauma, I am honored to walk beside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and affirmation. I deeply understand the challenges faced by queer and trans individuals, and I’m committed to helping you find your voice, honor your authentic self, and navigate the complexities of your relationships in a way that feels aligned with who you truly are.

Therapy Tailored for Queer and Trans Clients

Living as a queer or trans individual often means contending with a range of unique challenges, from societal stigma and discrimination to navigating complex relationships with family, friends, and partners. I know how isolating these experiences can feel, and that’s why I’m committed to providing therapy that is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in a deep understanding of the queer and trans community.

Together, we’ll explore your story and help you create the kind of life and relationships that honor your gender identity, sexual orientation, and emotional needs. I’m here to help you heal from the hurt of invalidation, to empower you in your journey, and to support you in embracing your true self—without apology.

Areas of Expertise for Queer and Trans Clients

As an ally and advocate for the queer and trans community, I specialize in several areas that are crucial for navigating the challenges faced by queer and trans individuals. Some of my areas of focus include:

  • Gender Affirmation and Identity Exploration: Whether you’re exploring your gender identity, working through a gender transition, or navigating non-binary identities, I offer a supportive space where you can be fully yourself, free from judgment.

  • Healing from Gender Dysphoria and Discrimination: Gender dysphoria, along with the experience of transphobia, can have a profound impact on your emotional health. I’ll help you process and navigate these challenges with empathy and understanding.

  • Relationship Dynamics: Whether you’re in a romantic relationship, dealing with family conflicts, or working through issues with friends, I offer tools and insights for building healthy, affirming relationships with others who may not always understand your experiences.

  • LGBTQ+ Couples Therapy: I specialize in working with queer and trans couples, helping you navigate intimacy, communication, and any other challenges specific to LGBTQ+ relationships. If you're dealing with issues like polyamory, open relationships, or exploring sexual and emotional intimacy, I provide a safe space to discuss and heal.

  • Healing from Trauma: Many queer and trans individuals experience trauma related to rejection, discrimination, or violence. I work with you to process these experiences in a compassionate way and find pathways to healing.

  • Intersectional identities: Understanding the ways in which your race, ethnicity, immigration status, and sexual orientation intersect with your identity is crucial for living an empowered life. Together, we’ll explore how these layers shape your experiences and relationships.

An Affirming and Supportive Space

In a world that often invalidates our identities, it’s important to have a space where you can be fully seen, heard, and respected for who you are. I provide a non-judgmental environment where we can explore all the aspects of your identity, and where you can feel safe expressing your emotions, desires, and needs.

As a queer and trans-affirming therapist, my role is to support your process of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Whether you need help with gender exploration, relationship struggles, or healing from past trauma, I’m here to offer guidance that honors your unique path.
