I signed up with Josephine when I was facing a very difficult time emotionally. The emotional overwhelmingness was translating into my overall well being being impacted. Josephine diagnosed me with PTSD because of my difficult marriage and help me deal with the emotional trauma by carefully listening to my story and then helping me deal with each episode until I was fully over the emotional baggage I was carrying with it. She is meticulous, planned, patient and relentless in making sure to get to absolute root of the problem. She is helping me get my life back on track.

I came to this therapy paralyzed. Fear, depression, suicidal. I suffered trauma repeatedly back to earliest childhood. I had no joy, self doubt and lived purely to please others as I never wanted anything to get worse than what I experienced. I have now been freed of my trauma and the negative energy that diminished my choices and belief in my life choices. I now have hope after my trauma energy cleansing. I now have a future and don’t feel depressed. I have dreamed beautifully after years of not being able to sleep because of night terrors. I have now communicated with family I couldn’t face for the abandonment and rejection I endured at a very early age. I am free. I am peaceful. I am smiling. I am grateful. With this therapist I am now finally growing.

I am very impressed by the trauma cleansing method. I have made great progress with removing negative emotions from a very traumatic year as a teacher and uncovering so many emotions I wasn’t aware of. Great for open minded people who want to move forward passed trauma.

Josephine is a very humble and down-to-Earth practitioner. I went to see her weekly for a few months to overcome a period of great stagnancy and low-grade depression. She is very practical in the sense that she does not re-frame things by sugar-coating. Rather, she has a very pragmatic approach by helping me examine my options in pursuit of resolving my perceived barriers that are exacerbating quality of life. Honestly, I was initially hoping that she would give me some tools or exercises (like self affirmations) to help me overcome that period in my life. However, I’m glad that we had discussions where we dealt with my issues head-on with clarifying, in-depth questions that made me realize how many of my worries are inconsequential to my livelihood. She is very constructively curious, honest and direct. I truly appreciate that approach and she is very direct with her approach.

A year and a half after the traumatic birth of my daughter I was still experiencing intense flashbacks and having trouble sleeping. I couldn’t even look at pictures of my daughter as a newborn without getting upset. I decided to go see a therapist and am so glad I found Josephine! After only a couple sessions I was able to think of those days without crying and getting upset. Josephine guided me through a process of thinking about the experience and focusing on the feelings it brought up. It worked wonders for me. I can feel my body is holding less stress and I’m able to enjoy memories of early motherhood now. Josephine is direct in her approach, and I really appreciated being able to get to the root of my issues and work through them in such a focused way. Thank you so much for your help, Josephine!

I began seeing Josephine a few months ago to address issues that might be preventing me from sleeping, which I assumed was anxiety. Through speaking with her, I discovered that in addition to anxiety, I was suffering from almost two decades of untreated PTSD resulting from a childhood trauma. Her unique method of trauma cleansing has helped reduce my trauma responses significantly. As for my anxiety, I suffer from anxiety with excessive fear. I didn’t realize this before therapy, but I was expending an enormous amount of energy overanalyzing day-to-day situations because of my excessive fear. It had just become second nature, so I didn’t even realize I was doing it. After meeting with Josephine for about 2 months, I noticed a significant increase in my energy level because she helped me get control of those anxious urges. I was so pleasantly surprised at how quickly I began to notice results, real results! And now, most nights, I can just fall asleep when I go to bed. It is an incredible feeling, after years and years of restless nights. I am thankful to have met Josephine, and I recommend her to anyone seeking real changes!

After meeting with Josephine only a couple times, I have seen signifcant change that I have been looking for for a long time. For many years I tried to tackle PTSD alone but I am so glad I finally reached out for support. For a while I was unsure if anyone could help me get past the things I have experienced but Josephine has been such an amazing person to share my journey with and I couldn’t have asked for a better helping hand. She knows exactly what to ask and is able to help me find different ways to clear the trauma from my mind. I am beyond thankful for her. If you come across Josephine, don’t hesitate to see her.. she truly has changed my life in just a small amount of time.

I suffered from two episodes of breast cancer. After second episode, I developed PTSD and began having flashbacks from my whole life. I developed anxiety and depression. Going to Josephine for therapy I discovered I had deep rooted trauma from an abusive father where I experienced seeing brutal abuse of younger siblings and mother during childhood. I was in shock and learned at a young age I couldn’t speak out at abuse I witnessed for fear of being hurt myself. I was molested by father which broke my trust with men. I always had a inner inflammation of my throat around voice box and felt constrained my whole life when speaking. Josephine reduced drastically my flashbacks, and showed me techniques to use when one would come back. My anxiety is gone and depression is no longer stopping me from living my life to fullest. I can’t tell you how amazed I was to discover the buried hidden fear of my voice suppression and buried anger and it was like opening a door into sunlight. Her technique is amazing and helped me so much to open myself up to deal with day to day living experiences. I was amazed how the tools and techniques of breathing etc. worked and each session I slowly learned to peel back like an onion the layers of events that caused my PTSD. Josephine knows how to ask the right questions that led me to discover the real issues. I am so thankful I found Josephine and highly recommend her. Treatment for trauma should not be feared but sought out for healing. Go to Josephine and you learn how to live a fuller life.

Josephine was always very courteous, and was curious and didn’t judge my situations through the process. One of the main points she helped me with was a traumatic experience I had with a dog having attacked me years ago. Josephine helped me overcome the experience and not be taken to a bad place: or to be able to get myself out if I find myself wondering to one.

Josephine was great in helping me control my anxiety. She managed to figure out what caused it, and how to fix it within a few sessions. She’s sympathetic, but also direct when she needed to be which really helped me acknowledge my problems. For my anxiety, she taught me a wonderful breathing technique that helped me relax and let go of any negative thoughts.

Josephine was a beacon of light through the hardest year of my life: my active father being crippled by a degenerative disease setting off a family crisis and the final chapter to a difficult marriage. To say I was struggling was an understatement. I was a puddle of raw emotions by the time I sought her help. Josephine gently but firmly guided me step by step out of what felt like insurmountable grief. She’s helped identify so many blindspot… her insightful listening is invaluable. From professional challenges to family conflict, talking with Josephine was so helpful in building the ability to identify and then resolve the crux of the problems.

Josephine is a wonderful person very warm welcoming and caring.I went one day to our session with a lower back pain and told her about it since she asked me how my week has been I told her about my accident so she made me sit in a confortable position she asked me to close my eyes and to focus on the pain to find the pain and focus on it so I did we did this several times and for my amazement the pain was gone. I was in like a trans and when I focused on the pain it felt warm then just like that it went away. Till this day I’m thankful because i haven’t felt any pain since she’s great !! She has very good and positive energy that you can feel when you meet her!! Thank you so much !!! I always look forward to our sessions !!

I think our 10-year old daughter got exactly what she needed from meeting with Josephine for short-term counseling. Our daughter has multiple sensory and learning differences, and is internationally adopted into our mult-racial, multicultural household. She faces ongoing social challenges particularly at school, but thanks to Josephine’s gentle counsel she is in a much better place to face them; choosing higher quality friendships, valuing herself and her uniqueness, and finding her inner voice. Josephine listened, made appropriate suggestions and helped guide her toward emotional independence. Going forward, if our daughter ever needs further professional support through the social challenges of middle school, or high school – we know she can go back to Josephine!

After working with Josephine for six months, I have learned more about myself, my psychological attachments, and how to formulate my best action plans on my own than I could have ever imagined. She helped me overcome my own self-doubts and insecurities, and taught me how to better manage my anxiety with mindfulness. Josephine is very friendly and professional, so make sure you are on time and disciplined about seeing her. She asks great questions to make you think and does it in a way that makes you feel supported, not judged. I recommend her highly to any client who is looking for a therapist.

I found my weekly talks with Josephine to be helpful and uplifting. She is practical and kind, and her ability to listen and understand is very strong. She was instrumental in my being able to change habitual responses to stressful situations, as well as develop tools for dealing with future situations. Her questions and feedback were excellent.

I’m truthfully appreciated Josephine’s help to accompany me to the ER. After staying 2 nights at the inpatient unit, I feel better and think clearer. Her professionalism goes a long way. Thanks again!!

Hello, I’m a man of few words. Talking with Josephine was like talking to an old friend. The sessions went by very quick. I’ll recommend her services to any friend or family member without hesitation. Thank you Josephine. Regards.

Ms. Cheung is very experienced in helping my child with his separation anxiety （he was seven when he first saw her). We’ve seen improvements very soon. I found her opinion very useful especially when it comes to parenting. Soon we commited to bring my other child who had attitude problem to see her too. Her advices help me to become a better parent and provide me with a lot of handful solutions in dealing with my daily conflicts with my children. Very caring and always have a solution. Thank you.

Josephine was a great listener and always had constructive and helpful advice and tips. Her advice was useful in real-life situations, and helped me take a step back and consider productive ways to react (and productive ways to avoid stressful issues in the future). I’d definitely recommend her for anyone looking to productively deal with work stress.

I entered therapy with Ms. Cheung in 2009-2010. At my request, we used the integrative therapy called AIT, using the theories of core beliefs and energy centers. Ms. Cheung always conducted herself with relaxation and compassionate friendliness balanced with a take charge professionalism and focus. I was experiencing periodic high levels of anxiety in the wake of a spiritual emergency experience. With Ms. Cheung’s treatment I experienced certain relief, as old inhibiting core beliefs were cleared. Never again have I slipped into that old anxiety experience, and for that I am always grateful to Ms. Cheung and Asha Clinton, who developed the AIT technique. As a person who holds an advanced degree in counseling psychology, I am aware there are plenty of lame and even damaging counseling professionals out there. Ms. Cheung is a true healer, or healing assistant more correctly; we are all largely responsible for our own healing. Also, though AIT is a very effective technique, there are not many practitioners; Ms. Cheung is precious in that regard alone.

I got referral from PAMF to see Dr. Cheung few months back, and as soon I met Dr. Cheung I liked her, she is caring and informative, I trust her opinion, very knowledgeable and many years of expirence tell me I will get professional help. I would travel accrossed the country to be in her professional care. My heart go out to you and every patient that is lucky enough to meet you!! I would definatly recommend Dr. Cheung to my family or friends. Thank you Dr. Cheung for being the ANGEL and Psychologist that I needed most. Barbara M I

Josephine is really the one who will hear your problems and will feel your pain. She also is very good at understanding different cultures and its impact. She is very helpful and effective to my problems. I will highly recommend her to my friends.

My weekly chats with Dr. Cheung really help me reduce my stress and anxiety. I really appreciate how she not only listens, but also provides constructive feedback that you can actually act on. In the past I have spoken to therapists who insist you apply their solution, and when you tell them it will not work or that you’ve tried it, they keep insisting you must not have tried hard enough or that you should do it anyway. This is not the case with Dr. Cheung. Her questions and feedback really help you sort out what’s going on in your life so that you can find your own solutions — all in a way you’re comfortable with. I would highly recommend Dr. Cheung to any of my friends and family!

Since I have seen Josephine my life has been much more positive. She has opened up my way of thinking and dealing with issues that were at one point hard for me. She has made me see things in a different perspective and in such a humble way. I am a changed man because of her and I appreciate all her help in the process. I look forward to my sessions with her week to week.

Josephine was easy to talk to, She really empowered me to take control of my life. She really helped me with my anxiety and PTSD issues. Thanks a million Josephine!

Our kid had the opportunity to work with Josephine on his composure. By openly sharing and discussing things around him over a period of time, Mrs. Josephine was able to install a level of calming confidence into him. We are very happy and grateful for all her help.

I visited with Josephine after I had an anxiety attack which landed be in the ER on Sunday afternoon in October of 2015.I was dealing with what I thought were some physical pains in my body which elevated to cause my anxiety.I went to many doctors for a year and none of them could detect anything physically wrong with me.After visiting Josephine she made me realize that there was nothing wrong with me physically but that these ailments were cause by my thoughts and that these negative thoughts were caused by living in a household surrounded by negative thoughts for may years.After several sessions and with some mind control drills provided to me from Josephine I was able to get control of my thoughts and after a while I was able to get rid of this so called physical pain.I would highly recommend her for those with anxiety,depressive situations.

Josephine really cares about her clients. She was instrumental in getting me mentally healthy. Highly recommend her service.

I see Josephine over three years. She gives me many directions and helps me to solve my problems. Thanks, Josephine!

I was very impressed. Josephine is a an expert in her field. She helped me in a very professional way with her years of experience. I highly recommend her.

My daughter sees Josephine once a week for an anxiety disorder. She enjoys coming. Her therapy is play based, so she looks forward to her visits. Little by little, she is more engaged in her sessions. It is not an overnight process, but gradually we are seeing positive changes in our daughter at home and in school. We have tried to implement Josephine’s recommendations at home. Most of them have been helpful. When we have not been able to implement them, Josephine has asked why and tried to give other suggestions that might also help.

My wife and I had our marital issues many years ago and we consulted Josephine. She saved our marriage after a few visits. We are very grateful for her help. Josephine has given us good advice how to build a healthy relationship with good communication in our family. She also has provided us with good parenting skills on how to raise our children. With her guidance and support, we are now enjoying a warm and loving family life. Josephine has also walked through many difficult moments with our son and daughter in their growing when they were having difficulties dealing with challenges and transitions. They were open to seeing Josephine talking about their problems. My children have become confident, strong and positive, now they are succeeding at college. We are proud and thankful parents.

I am very grateful to Josephine’s help for my son when he was having some difficulties in his growing up. Now he is going to college as a healthy and positive young man, I am happy as a mother and I am very thankful to Josephine.

Josephine has been helping my family for a few years already. First, she helped my husband deal with his stress. He did therapy with her for a couple of years and the result we see today is unbelievable. Not only he knows how to deal with stress, he also looks like a zen master because she taught him breathing and meditation techniques that makes working for a big company look not stressful at all. Second, she helped me during a very hard time. Her work was so efficient I could say it was miraculous. In just three or four sections, I was able to solve my problem and move on with my life. At last, she’s been helping my son for the last year. He is a kind and happy boy who couldn’t deal with frustration when he started school. I took my son to see Josephine every week for one year and then we started doing therapy every other week. He loves Josephine! He truly does. She has a way to bond with him that is extraordinary. Visiting Josephine is the only “after school” activity that he has never complained about doing. My son now not only knows how to deal with frustration, but also he understands what is happening with him. He’s been able to show his emotions and work them. He’s is calmer, doesn’t cry if he can’t do something and has been doing so much better at school. We are so proud of his work with Josephine.

We have been extremely satisfied with Josephine. Her recommendations of dietary changes, supplement usage and behavioral modifications have greatly contributed to our son’s improved behavior. She has a gentle manner and understands how to communicate and get through to our son that translates into great progress. She relates well with him and has made a connection with him that other therapists were not able to.

With help I was helped to better understand what I needed to do to change my outdated understanding of what my child was going threw. I have slowly won back some of the trust I had lost by my old habits. We now have a more open understanding and a more open lines of communication. It is a work in progress. She has helped to to recenter and be less angry with that which I have no control over or is trivial.

My young daughter was having difficulty managing her emotions through many life changes including divorce of her parents, moving to a new home and school and leaving behind her old home. Weekly meetings with Josephine turned her around so she is happy and talkative now and no longer sad and quiet. I highly recommend her.

Laihin helped me to recognize and change negative, unhelpful thoughts, develop skills to manage my anxiety and unhealthy habbits. Not only she helped me with these issues, she also helped me adopting lifestyle changes.

Dr. Cheung is very insightful and professional. She has given us so many parenting tips that smoothed out many family situations. Our child enjoys talking with her and play with her. We very much appreciate her help.
