🥳 soft, culturally-aware therapy for Asian Women & Interracial Couples
Work through your rough childhood, work stress, and overwhelm—with gentle, practical support so you feel grounded, understood, and aligned.
My Approach
In therapy, you don’t have to perform—you get to show up as your real self. I meet you with honesty, humor when it helps, and thoughtful challenge when it matters.
We’ll explore how your environment shaped the way you communicate and connect, and identify the patterns in your relationships that may no longer be serving you.
From there, we focus on what’s within your control—building practical tools to create real, lasting change.
As my former professor, Dr. Wendy Ashley said, “I will laugh with you, ride with you, challenge you.” That’s the energy I bring to our work together.
Hi 👋🏼 I’m Helen Bass!
As the eldest daughter of immigrant Filipino parents, raised in the church and in an interracial marriage, I understand the pressure to meet expectations, overthink decisions, and feel guilty for wanting more.
I share these real, messy moments with you so you don’t feel alone.
In therapy, we’ll explore the patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, untangle cultural and family expectations, and focus on what truly matters to you. We’ll build practical tools to help you break old cycles—whether it’s scarcity mindsets, pressure to be someone you’re not, or staying stuck in a path that doesn’t fit.
My goal is simple: to help you create a life that feels like your own.
I value sincerity, courage, and humor—and I’ll meet you with honesty, warmth, and support through it all.
