Me and my partner came to see Ting when I was about to check out in our relationship. There was years of unresolved hurt and mistrust, that made it hard for me to believe anyone could help us. Yet, I'm so glad we tried and so thankful that we chose Ting. From the first meeting, she created a space where both of us felt heard, understood, seen, and supported. At the end of our third session, my partner happily said to Ting, "At least we can agree on one thing now: we are very glad that we find you."
The first major improvement happened when Ting helped us de-escalate our tension, not by telling us what to do, but by helping us understand and empathize with the "why" behind our reactions. It was a game changer. Suddenly I could see my partner's care and vulnerabilities behind the stoic silence, which used to feel like I did not matter at all. As our therapy progressed, the couple therapy felt more like a healing place, for our relationship, and the wounds from childhood. It's crazy to see how much our childhood shaped and affected us in adult relationships!
Today, we have "graduated" from couple therapy as Ting put it after a year (weekly then bi-weekly). We are not perfect, but we feel closer to each other more than ever. We are so sure we are with the right person. With the tools Ting gave to us, it's much easier to navigate conflicts and differences, and express our needs. We've become much better at sharing feelings and thoughts, hearing one another and providing the needed support. We truly feel like life partners now.
In one word, we are very grateful for the past year's growth. If you want a couple therapist who is capable, truly cares about her clients, and leads with kindness, I can not recommend Ting enough. read more
