Andrea Vander Hyde, LMFT

Offering Online Therapy in Los Angeles and Throughout California

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps Asian American women heal fromanxious attachment, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and the lasting effects of emotionally unavailable parenting, along with the anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt that often come with them.

I love this work deeply. Being able to witness a woman reclaim her voice, rebuild her confidence, and finally feel at home in her own body and mind… that's an honor I don't take lightly.

My Background

As someone who is both Asian and White, but raised within an Asian culture, I understand firsthand the pressure many Asian American women carry. The expectation to excel. To make your family proud. To avoid mistakes. To prioritize others before yourself. To keep going no matter how exhausted you feel.

Many of the women I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and difficulty trusting their own needs, not because something is wrong with them, but because these patterns often developed in environments where achievement, obedience, and sacrifice were highly valued.

While my own background shapes how deeply I understand these patterns, you don't need to be Asian American to work with me. These struggles are deeply human, and I welcome all who see themselves in this.

Therapy can become a space where you no longer have to perform. A space where you can learn who you are outside of everyone else's expectations.
