Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I am Dr. Minh-Chau Do (she/her) and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in California (PSY30972). I founded The Kintsugi Practice in order to provide evidence-based therapy to adults, teens, children, and families that is individually tailored to your needs, strengths, and values. I enjoy supporting clients of all ages in building the insight, skills, flexibility, and self-compassion to help you (or your family) meet the challenges that arise throughout life.

I know that seeking therapy and finding the right therapist can be a scary and overwhelming process. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist and have the information you need to make an informed decision. To learn more about my therapeutic approach, training, and areas of expertise, please take a look at my “About Me” and “Therapy Services” pages. I encourage you to explore my site. Or, if you’re already feeling ready to take the next step, you can click below to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to all prospective clients so you can get to know me, see whether we may be a good fit, and ask any questions you may have.
