Ting-Ting Shiue

I don't think insight alone changes much. What moves things is catching the pattern while it's happening — in your week, in your relationships, sometimes right there in session — and getting curious about it instead of critical. I work relationally and from a trauma-informed lens. That means paying attention to what you learned to do to stay safe, and what those strategies cost you now. It also means we go at a pace your system can actually tolerate; I'm not interested in pushing you into the hardest material to prove we're doing real work. Sessions are collaborative and often practical. I'll ask direct questions, tell you what I'm noticing, and change course when something isn't landing. My practice is largely informed by attachment theory and systems oriented. I draw on Emotion Focused Therapy, CBT and DBT and adapt to the person in front of me rather than running everyone through the same protocol.
