Our Approach

Our approach to therapy is realistic, developmental, and positive. We believe that it's essential to pursue your heart's desire while also respecting your responsibilities and integrity. We focus on building on your strengths and identifying areas for growth, rather than dwelling on what's broken or wrong. We also acknowledge that getting better is a lifelong pursuit and that it's okay to make mistakes.

Our Expertise

Dr. Bradshaw has extensive experience working with diverse populations, including Asian Americans, multiracial individuals, and women. She has a particular interest in the areas of ethnic identity development and mixed-race experience in the United States. Her extensive writing on these topics has been published in various academic journals and books.

Our Philosophy

We believe that working in therapy requires a change in the conventional approach to mental health care. We focus on empowering our clients to take control of their lives, rather than simply providing a Band-Aid solution. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of resilience and hope in each of our clients, so they can navigate life's challenges with confidence and optimism.

Our practice is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and confidential space for our clients. We understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and tailoring our therapeutic approach to each individual's unique needs and experiences. We strive to provide personalized care that is tailored to each client's specific situation and circumstances.
