Dr. Raymond Hsu is a California-based Psychotherapist with a broad variety of patients. Dr. Hsu’s interests revolve around the concept of anti-fragility, resiliency, and positive psychology. In his opinion, there is a tendency to focus on the negative aspects of mental health (e.g., illness, maladaptive behaviors, avoidance). Dr. Hsu guides his patients to rewire the negative aspects of their life (i.e., emotions, behaviors, thoughts) and gain insight into their anti-fragility and resilience.

One of Dr. Hsu’s main focuses in therapy is to build a solid rapport to ensure a good alliance is built between him and his patient. He offers a compassionate yet direct approach to therapy, which may feel abrasive for some. Similar to the Crucible Model in couple’s therapy, Dr. Hsu wants to help a patient move towards their respective goals by pushing past the challenges that are brought about by change.  

Dr. Raymond Hsu is passionate about holistic care for his patients. Having access to therapy alongside traditional medications, or other alternative treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and esketamine, can ensure patients find a path that works best for them as unique individuals. Dr. Hsu understands that there is no cookie-cutter model that works for everyone. Fully embracing a holistic approach to mental health, he values that each person’s path to anti-fragility and resilience is different and embraces one’s journey toward that path.
