Yar Za Myint (Rocky)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives. I use a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach, drawing on each person’s strengths and cultural background. As an Asian male therapist and immigrant, I aim to create a supportive and culturally humble environment where clients feel empowered and heard; especially those seeking a male perspective or role model, to explore their concerns and strengths.
