Wei-chiung Chen-Martinez is an Asian therapist dedicated to helping clients feel seen and heard. They specialize in addressing complicated emotions stemming from racial dynamics, and they guide individuals in understanding how their bodies respond to emotions and trauma.

Wei-chiung honors and validates the unique survival strategies, cultural identities, inner strength, and creativity of each individual. In a trusting and loving environment, clients rediscover self-love, self-compassion, and confidence while sharing their life stories. By exploring and nurturing the needs of their inner child, clients find gentle love for themselves and their loved ones. Everyone is worthy of love, regardless of past experiences, and Wei-chiung is honored to accompany clients on their journeys. As a queer Asian immigrant, they deeply understand the complexity of intersecting racial and gender identities, along with the acculturation process. With expertise in dance movement therapy and psychotherapy, Wei-chiung believes that our bodies hold the wisdom to navigate stress and heal from trauma.
