“Hi I’m Cindy Tao. Grounded and raised in a Chinese immigrant and Vietnamese refugee family, my roots and experiences have amplified my passion to address care in communities of color. The complexities of juggling responsibilities as a student, employee, caregiver. etc., can be exhausting and I'm here to say that I see you! You are more than just a person embedded in an institution, and your emotionality is cared for.

I'd like to offer you a culturally-responsive, collaborative space to share your story. Guided by an anti-oppressive framework at the heart of my practice, I care deeply about the impact of intergenerational and race-based trauma. I value authenticity, transparency, and humor in our journey!

I enjoy a lot of laughter and jokes in our sessions :) I invite you to try this space out. Vulnerability be scary, daunting even, but also beautiful. Together we can cultivate a space where you can practice leaping out of your shell, take risks, and grow.”
