Hi! I’m MaiLinh.
I’m a licensed couple and family therapist serving women and couples via telehealth in Washington state.
I recognize dysfunctional patterns can be hard to break, and change can be not only hard, but also scary. I work with clients to uncover what beliefs, behaviors and patterns are getting in the way of their healing, healthy relationships, and growth. My goal is to work alongside and be with my clients with openness, curiosity, and compassion for each individual’s story, cultural practices, values, and goals.
My experience growing up and navigating predominantly White spaces holding the identities that I do motivates me to help my clients examine and unpack internalized oppression and explore the various intersections of their identities.
Outside of being a therapist, I’m also a new mom, West-coast transplant-turned-Washington-local, surprisingly Texan, cooking and baking enthusiast, dog owner, amateur gardener, daughter of a Vietnamese/Chinese immigrant, and most importantly, human just like you.

My Personal Story
My path to becoming a therapist has been deeply personal and profoundly transformative. With an educational background in philosophy and psychology and years of experience in diverse person-centered and client-facing settings, I have gained a compassionate and thoughtful approach to mental health. My own life experiences and journey with personal therapy have equipped me with a unique perspective, allowing me to connect with clients on a genuine and human level. I am dedicated to fostering a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings, confront challenges, and achieve personal growth. I believe that every person has the potential for healing, and I am here to be with you on your journey.
I look forward to meeting you and being with you on your journey of self discovery.
