Canzi Wang, Ph.D.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that emotional suffering does not occur in isolation—it is shaped by our early relationships, family dynamics, cultural context, and the ways we have learned to protect ourselves in connection with others.

​

Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who appear capable on the outside, yet internally struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, emotional disconnection, relationship distress, or a persistent sense of not feeling fully known or fulfilled. Often, these struggles become especially pronounced during life transitions such as partnership, parenthood, career burnout, or changing family roles.

​

Drawing from attachment-based, interpersonal, multicultural, and mindfulness-oriented approaches—including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)—I help clients slow down, understand the deeper emotional and relational patterns beneath their distress, and develop a more compassionate, authentic relationship with themselves and others.

​

As a first-generation immigrant, I also bring particular sensitivity to the ways culture, immigration, intergenerational expectations, and bicultural identity shape emotional experience, relationships, parenting, and self-worth.
