Hello and Welcome!

I’m Akasa Tseng, a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY 36410) offering online psychotherapy based in Los Angeles, California.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and Jungian traditions, with the integration of EMDR to support the reprocessing of traumatic and implicit memories that may be held in the body beyond conscious awareness.

There are moments when something in life no longer fits as it once did. You may notice recurring emotional patterns, difficulty in relationships, or a quiet sense of disconnection. At other times, this may emerge through loss, transition, or a pull toward something not yet fully known.

These experiences can feel painful or disorienting—and at the same time, they may carry something meaningful.

Psychotherapy becomes a space where we begin to come into relationship with what has been shaping your experience outside of awareness. Patterns that once served a protective function can be gradually understood, allowing emotional experience to be felt and processed over time, and opening the possibility for change that is more grounded and enduring.

In addition to my academic and clinical training, I draw upon four decades of lived experience across business, creative fields, holistic practices, and cross-cultural contemplative traditions. These continue to shape how I listen and attend to the depth and complexity of your experience.

Over time, this work can shift your relationship to suffering—toward greater reflection and a growing capacity to hold complexity, ambiguity, and emotional depth. What once felt isolating may begin to open into a wider sense of connection—an ongoing movement toward a life that feels more deeply resonant and alive, unfolding within its complexity and possibilities.
