But whether they meant to or not, their trauma has become your burden to bear. It’s caused overwhelming anxiety and sleepless nights. You feel the pressure from all sides, and it leaves you feeling distracted, anxious, and disconnected from your body.
You have your own life to worry about. You shouldn’t have to carry your parents’ trauma, too.

Together, we’ll unpack your experiences, break the intergenerational trauma cycle, and learn how to stop your trauma response in its tracks with an innovative, holistic approach that blends Western psychotherapy and Eastern somatic modalities.

Hi, I'm Emily Tran, LCSW

I know we don’t know each other yet, but I understand you.
Why?
Because I've been you.

That’s why my therapy practice centers on what I have learned from healing my own complex traumas. With a combination of Western talk therapy and Eastern healing traditions like meditation, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, honored, and free to explore your pain.

With certifications and clinical workshops from Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, as well as leadership trauma training from Alameda County Center for Healthy Schools and Communities, UCSF's Trauma Informed HEARTS program and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, I have spent the last ten years leading trainings on trauma informed practices for various school districts in the Bay Area, and I regularly participate in transformative mental health education workshops to better serve my clients.
