Laura Bai Therapy
I specialize in helping Asian-Americans heal from intergenerational trauma and thrive in relationships and careers. This trauma often shows up as perfectionism, burnout, emotional caretaking, relationship conflicts, and emotional disconnection. I bring both deep cultural understanding and lived experience to the healing process. Born in China and immigrating to the US at age eight, I understand these struggles firsthand. My own perfectionist tendencies left me burned out and disconnected in my first career. This catalyzed my therapeutic journey, where I discovered and began healing from intergenerational trauma. My personal transformation deepens my ability to guide others, and I look forward to supporting your healing journey.
Customer's reviews
How can you tell the difference between an adequate and a good psychotherapist?
Consumer reviews can be unreliable because therapy is a personal experience influenced by many factors. As a couples therapist specializing in high-conflict relationships affected by ADHD, I have high standards for therapists. I look for qualities like skill, compassion, integrity, humility, patience, and curiosity, all of which Laura Bai possesses.
Since we began collaborating in 2022, Laura and I have helped many couples and individuals reconnect. Her openness to different perspectives and commitment to self-growth are deeply impressive, and her clients likely benefit from her hard work without fully realizing it. Recently, I saw her calming office in Oakland over Zoom, and it made me want to visit in person!
