Leon Tsao
TEDx Speaker, Mental Health Youtuber & writer, Psychotherapist, & Life Coach.
When in the midst of the challenges of life, it can seem the way forward is cloudy and uncertain. I collaborate with you to build a map of your own individual way of working and strengthen your ability to navigate it to find your way forward. We will find out how you individually work and create the best-functioning and realized “You.” I have 2 masters degrees (I call myself a MAMA), in creativity and talent development and in mental health counseling, and I am an iPEC Certified Life Coach. I am well-versed in CBT, mindfulness therapies, and have a warm spot for Jungian psychology. I have a holistic approach, addressing your needs from different angles: pragmatic, heart-based, and big-picture insight. Â
I make coaching and therapy sessions with individuals and couples that are experiential, with CBT done in an organic and humanistic way. I gave a TEDx Talk on how creative thinking is beneficial for personal growth, created a YouTube channel talking about the benefits of mental and spiritual health, and also a channel on MBTI personality typology and music.
I run a free, interactive online workshop for people with anxiety and a depression support group.
My clients are diverse in needs, though I often work with clients with difficulties with self-esteem, confidence, and interaction with others. My clients include but are not limited to those with depression, anxiety, bipolar and borderline personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, health anxiety, ADHD, and existential and relationship concerns. I have particular expertise in social anxiety and run workshops for people who struggle with it.
