Alice Hua, PhD (she/her)
Bio
About me:
My approach is affirming of all identities, and I am dedicated to supporting marginalized communities (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people with disabilities). As a 1.5 generation Chinese American woman, I hold insight into the experiences of immigrants and the kinds of expectations that are common for many in the Asian American diaspora. I integrate a culturally responsive approach to find balance between understanding your inner self and addressing the impacts of oppressive systems.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, life transitions, grief, depression, insomnia, and trauma. One of my specialties is working with adults adjusting to recent cognitive changes (e.g., COVID brain fog, mild cognitive impairment) and family members of loved ones with a progressive neurological disorder (e.g., dementia). I primarily draw techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for insomnia, CBT for trauma, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
I view therapy as a collaboration. We will work together to reflect on what matters most to you and build a life that you want. I will meet you where you are, so that you can live your life with clarity, intentionality, and authenticity.
Background and Training:
I’m a licensed psychologist in private practice. I earned my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship in the Clinical Psychology Training Program at the University of California, San Francisco. As a researcher, I developed expertise in how the brain supports emotion and empathy, and how the emotional lives of family caregivers relate to their well-being.
