My name is Tuyet-Lyn, pronounced Twik-Lyn, I am a psychotherapist, artist and intuitive who has a license as a Marriage and Family Therapy (LMFT 52494). I work with individuals, couples, teens and facilitate groups. I strive to support you in your unique needs and goals. I bring a sensitivity to the effects of inter generational trauma, societal and cultural realities that may impact one's sense of self and connection to others. I welcome people from diverse walks of life, orientations and perspectives. I bring warmth, intuition, depth and creativity to the clients I work with.
I specialize in using the Expressive Arts. Expressive Art Therapy is a multi-arts approach: body-based wisdom, painting, drawing, storytelling, astrology archetypes, psychodrama, movement, writing and ritual. The arts can help express and heal what can otherwise be challenging to do with words alone. I draw on various modalities, including trauma-informed, somatic/body-based psychology, attachment therapy, depth psychology, Relational Life Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and AF-EMDR ( Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
I have over 10 years experience working as a psychotherapist. I have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialty in Expressive Art Therapy and an undergraduate degree in Clinical Sociology with a minor in Religious Studies. I majored in Illustration at the High School of Art & Design in New York City. I am a seeker and dedicated to this craft and have various other training that inform the work I do.
