Therapy for Asian Men who are Tired of Carrying Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and the Pressure to be Everything for Everyone
You don't have to figure it out alone. A grounded, culturally sensitive approach to connect with your emotions, build confidence, and rediscover who you are.
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

"I was hesitant to start therapy because I wasn't sure anyone would really understand what I was dealing with. From the beginning, I felt like Randy got it. He understood the pressure I put on myself, the expectations I carried, and how difficult it was to talk about my struggles."
Daniel, age 28
Former Client
"Randy created a space where I felt comfortable being honest about things I had never talked about before. Over time, I've become more confident, less critical of myself, and more comfortable being who I am. Therapy has genuinely changed the way I relate to myself and the people around me"

Get Support With
Loneliness and Isolation
Even when surrounded by people, Asian men may feel disconnected. I help them build deeper connections with themselves, then with others, so they can reconnect with their communities.
Burnout and Fear of Failing
Asian men feel an intense pressure to perform and achieve. Taking a break or not achieving can lead to feelings of guilt and inadequacy. I support Asian men in recognizing their strengths to help redefine success through their own values.
Cultural and Societal Pressures
Whether its a cultural pressure to achieve, or a societal pressure to stay strong, Asian men are fit into a box where they feel they can't break free from. I help them challenge these norms and reconnect with their authentic selves, to live a more fulfilling life.
Overthinking and Anxiety
It can feel exhausting to never fully relax or trust yourself. Together, we'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety, quiet the mental noise, and help you feel more grounded and confident in your daily life.
People Pleasing
You often put other people's needs, expectations, and opinions ahead of your own, making it difficult to set boundaries or speak up for yourself. This leaves you feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected. I'll help you find your voice and create relationships that feel more authentic and balanced.
Imposter Syndrome
No matter how much you've accomplished, you still feel like you're falling behind or that someone will eventually discover you're not as capable as they think. Living with constant self-doubt can be stressful and isolating. I'll help you challenge these beliefs and develop a more secure sense of self-worth.
About Randy Mekdara, LPCC
As Asian men, many of us were taught to work hard, stay humble, and handle our struggles on our own. While these values can be strengths, they can also leave us feeling stressed, anxious, disconnected, or wondering if we're ever doing enough. I work with Asian men who are tired of overthinking, struggling with confidence, or feeling like no matter what they
accomplish, it's never quite enough.
I believe therapy isn't about fixing you, it's about helping you better understand yourself and reconnect with the parts of you that may have been pushed aside along the way. Using a culturally responsive, insight-oriented approach, I help clients navigate anxiety, self-worth, identity, relationships, and life transitions with greater clarity and confidence.
Together, we'll create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and build a stronger sense of self that isn't dependent on achievement or other people's expectations.
If any part of this resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out. I'd be an honor to support you on your healing journey.

That’s completely okay. Many people start without knowing what to expect. My job is to guide you through the process, help you feel comfortable, and move at a pace that feels right for you.
Yes. I am a fully online based therapy practice. I offer secure, confidential online therapy to anyone within California, so you can meet from the comfort of your own space no commute, no hassle.
Yes. Everything you share in therapy is kept private and confidential. The only exceptions are rare situations required by law, such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if a child, elder, or dependent adult is being abused. I’ll always explain these limits clearly so you understand exactly how your information is protected.
It depends on what you’re working through and what you hope to get out of therapy. Some people come for a few months to work on a specific issue, while others stay longer for deeper, ongoing work. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is helping you move toward the change you want.
I am considered an out-of-network provider and currently do not accept Insurance. However, I can provide a Superbill for clients if needed.
