San Jose Therapy for Self-Critical, Stressed, and Detached Adults
Feeling perpetually inadequate is a heavy burden
You've navigated life by staying under the radar and fulfilling necessities (attending college, securing employment, etc.).
However, the accolades and achievements you've garnered seem hollow, leaving you feeling more anxious and stressed. This growing tension causes palpitations and a looming dread about work. Simple tasks begin to appear insurmountable, escalating your overthinking and anxiety.
Your employment not only demands your time but also drains your very being, urging you to surpass expectations and excel. In a culture that prizes intellect over emotional insight, you've been conditioned to suppress your feelings in favor of logic.
You can’t Fix Your Feelings
As a result, you don’t understand your feelings and you can’t solve them. You've always taken pride in your rationality, logic, and your knack for solving problems. Yet, when it comes to your negative emotions, this approach seems to fall short. Instead of acknowledging and experiencing your feelings for what they are, you find yourself trying to "figure them out," to rationalize them away, or fit them into neat boxes that make logical sense. It doesn’t work out and only makes your feelings of stress and anxiety worse.
Navigating Relationships Becomes a Struggle
Your relationships are not fulfilling, marred by unresolved conflicts and a pervasive feeling of inadequacy. Despite your best efforts to be the perfect partner, it never seems sufficient. Overwhelmed, you retreat, only to face the same issues later with more conflicts

The relentless internal critic, constantly highlighting your flaws and magnifying your sense of inadequacy, signals the urgent need for support. The endless cycle of self-doubt and the impossible standards you set for yourself in every aspect of your life are exhausting.
Meet Alex, San Jose Therapist
I am Alex Ly, a therapist serving clients in San Jose, specializing in helping clients like you who are battling anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma.
My clients are often high achievers who feel trapped in patterns of disconnection and self-criticism, finding no solace in their accomplishments.
I understand that underlying these struggles are deep-seated traumas that must be addressed to truly initiate the healing process.
San Jose Therapy Focused on Healing Your Trauma
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that childhood and familial trauma significantly affects our adult lives.
Together, we explore the impact of your traumatic experiences, recognizing their subtle yet profound effects on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This exploration is not about reliving pain but understanding and healing from it.
My approach is to gently uncover and address these underlying traumas, providing a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and heal. I believe that by getting to the root of these pains, we can unlock patterns of disconnection and self-criticism, allowing for true healing and transformation.
