Beginning therapy can be one of the hardest steps, especially when you have had to navigate mental health stigma, having your emotions dismissed, difficulty prioritizing your needs, or having years living a state of trauma, or survival mode.

I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. I have a deep passion for trauma work and rebuilding a sense of safety. I frequently work with clients who are overwhelmed with carrying high expectations, including BIPOC individuals.

Nicky Cheng

Nicky Cheng

Therapist

Virtual • California


Have you ever left a therapy session feeling lighter, only to return the next week feeling right back where you started?

You’ve done the work. You’ve learned the tools and the language to describe your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Yet the relief often feels short-lived. Insights help in the moment, but they don’t always translate into lasting change in your day-to-day life.


It can feel incredibly frustrating or even hopeless. You might start wondering if therapy is even worth it.

Deep down, you just want to feel less anxious... less stressed... less burned out. You want to feel like yourself again. You want to feel truly connected to others. And you want to stop feeling like a hamster stuck on a wheel, running endlessly with no off-ramp.


If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. With nearly 20 years of working with caregivers, helping professionals, and many others seeking relief. I have witnessed these same struggles time after time. The frustration, the exhaustion, and for many, a deep and unshakable pain that feels like it never ends. The work doesn’t stop, and yet, things go nowhere.


Through my clients, I’ve learned that what usually brings people to therapy is often just the surface symptom of deeply held core beliefs and personal stories that once served them well but now keep them stuck and, at times, repeating a vicious cycle.


Therapy should feel safe, even when it stretches you beyond your comfort zone. If you’re tired of taking three steps forward only to slide two steps back, and you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward genuine healing and self-discovery.
