Hi, I'm Phillip!
Welcome to Mindful Garden Counseling
Welcome to a psychotherapy practice grounded in multicultural perspectives, mindfulness, and value-based living. I created this practice to offer culturally informed therapy that doesn’t expect people to fit into limiting or stereotypical narratives. Instead, we focus on creative, authentic, and culturally aware approaches that honor your background, values, and lived experience.
The name of my practice pays homage to Liu's Garden - my family's small restaurant which raised me, tortured me, and taught me so many life lessons. One of those lessons: even in the most desolate grounds, growth continues.
Strength to cultivate the life we want
I help people who carry heavy expectations—whether cultural, familial, or emotional—and want healthier communication, emotional clarity, and a more authentic life.
Balancing your values and heavy expectations
Many clients come to therapy wanting a more purposeful life, better emotional communication, and genuine, authentic relationships - if that's you, you're in the right place! I often help men (and anyone struggling with understanding their emotions) navigate life's challenges and internal struggles by practicing evidence based strategies - that actually work for you!
Honoring your story
I specialize in supporting first-generation or cross-cultural individuals who are balancing cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and the challenges of forging their own path. Whether you’re navigating college, career development, relationships, or identity concerns, therapy can provide a grounding space to explore what you want your life to look like and how to cultivate it - one seed at a time.
Each of our complex stories deserve to be celebrated. I'm a son of Chinese immigrants from Mexico, born and raised in Mississippi. I experienced many identity challenges growing up in liminal spaces between cultures, challenging my sense of belonging, self-esteem, and mental health. While painful, these experiences fueled my passion for equity, my career as an educator serving low-income communities, and now my mission as a therapist. I am here to support others as they cultivate their own value-fueled life.
