... feel seen, heard, validated, and understood fully...
​​
Mental health is next to physical health. Mind - Body alignment is a must for me. Yet, I needed to feel seen, heard, validated and understood fully first before any deeper work could be done. I received all those in my sessions with Ceri.
​
I've had multiple terrible experiences with other therapists and glad that I have found and arrived in Ceri's care. I felt so compatible to her as my support. She asks the right questions. She doesn't put judgements nor her own opinions in your head. She values boundaries, privacy, and client's feelings of safety. She isn't led by greed nor blinded by systems that don't work.
​
Ceri is open source for wisdom and intuition. I think she's a rare one who perfectly fuses intuition with theory. More than that, she has been the perfect guide for me because she has done her own inner work which cannot be replaced nor topped by any certification, Masters, nor Ph.D.
​
She keeps her line open even outside of sessions with proper boundaries whilst still making me feel supported. Her constant checking in with me, even during periods of no sessions was something I really valued.
​
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is working through traumatic childhood experiences, and anyone who needs.

... a lack of awareness of my own traumas that had caused recurrent issues in my life.
I am forever grateful for the work that Ceri Lan and I have done together since the winter of 2022.
At the beginning of therapy with Ceri Lan, I was struggling with a lack of awareness of my own childhood traumas that had caused recurrent issues in my life. I was in great need of guidance, of someone with experience and expertise to support me through these turbulent times, and Ceri Lan has been exactly that person for me.
Ceri Lan is a kind, empathetic and supportive therapist who goes beyond her way to show me patience, self-compassion and courage to hold space for all parts of me that needed healing.
I feel so supported to navigate my past, present and future by having opportunities to do the emotional introspect and inner work with her. The growth I have felt from our sessions is incredible.
To anyone looking for a kind-hearted therapist who listens attentively and validates your feelings, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Ceri Lan enough. I am forever grateful, thank you so so much.

Now, I am comfortable with myself.
Mental health means a lot to me, and I decided to try therapy because I wanted some help and guidance to work through my issues and start healing from the inside out. Therapy helped me realize the importance of viewing anger & sadness as natural, rather than negativity/embarrassment view. I used to feel guilty when I was hurt or not feeling good about myself, as it made me believe that I was the problem in society. This led me to become more of a people-pleaser and ignore my own needs. However, after therapy, I was able to heal & develop more self-acceptance. Now, I am comfortable with how I feel about myself.
When working with Ceri Lan, I was surprised to find that she was the only person who truly understood what I was going through. Her shedding tears while listening to my stories was shocking yet relieving. It made me realize that I am not alone which provided me with a lot of motivation. Ceri Lan brought gifts and strengths to the therapy sessions as she provided me with affirmations and positive encouragement when I needed it the most, especially since I tend to doubt myself even when I perform above average. Her genuine care and acknowledgment of my growth and well-being always motivated me to improve my skills in addressing my mental needs. It inspired me to be brave and have a firm belief that I would come out stronger on the other side, just like her.
With Ceri Lan’s dedication, genuine care, and attention to details, it helped me keeps working. Even after therapy sessions, she checks in with me about my status, which was important as I know I am being cared for. This connections I've made with her are invaluable, and there is nothing I would trade them for. Therapy is like a rip-off bandaid you're trying to cover. It might be difficult and painful to reminisce about the past, but it's crucial to rip it off in order to heal. Trust the process and yourself, and you will make it. There is none other than yourself that can save you. Take a leap of faith, and you will realize that taking therapy sessions is like taking a massage at the spa—just inner healing.

She helps to embrace emotions, heal hearts, regain hope, and trust in the self again.
I have spent many conversations working with Ceri Lan and I have always been amazed by her ability to listen. She does not only emphasize but she brings deep connection, from the heart to the heart as she reaches out to the depth of an individual and the subject.
She helps to embrace emotions, heal hearts, regain hope, and trust in the self again.
Not only because she is a skilled counselor but because she has been doing a lot of consistent and real in-depth work on herself. Especially in the area of self-love. She is to me, an example of someone who embodies the truth that when we love ourselves we can truly love others. Loving is healing.

...accept my depression and go deep in the inner journey of loving myself...
​
Ceri Lan is a warm, kind-hearted person. It was so easy and light to work with her even though my issue wasn't that easy to deal with. She helped me accept my depression and go deep in the inner journey of loving myself, accepting all aspects that I now am, and grow into my better self.
She also guided me on methods to heal by myself during and after finishing my therapy sessions. When working with her, I had all the supports I needed. I feel safe, supported, and found a strong belief in myself when working with Ceri Lan.
Through our work, I came to a clearer mind where I can make important decisions for myself. I hope as many people as possible could have a chance to work with Ceri Lan, take her help and grow yourself as I've been experiencing.

...brings me warmth, a sense of connection, mindfulness, and acceptance.
Thanks to the beautiful host and guidance from Ceri Lan. I love your beautiful voice, as much as your beautiful presence. When practicing presence, sometimes I misperceived it as aiming for a clear state of mind with no chaos and unconsciously tried to control myself, my thoughts, my emotions. It somehow reflects my tendency to control things, so I am unable to relax.
Ceri Lan helped remind me about my intention when practicing presence. It is to learn to connect with myself, with others, and with the moments, to accept things as they are. It is not about controlling things.
Acceptance is the first step toward calmness and mindfulness. When we can build strong connections with ourselves & moments, we can act with freedom & stability in chaos. Thank you chi Ceri Lan again for your beautiful presence that brings me warmth, a sense of connection, mindfulness and acceptance.

...peaceful relationship with my family.
​
I wanted to have a calm mind that will allow me to live a happier life with myself and people around me. Ceri Lan was an excellent therapist and an amazing listener. She never judges, and she's always able to support me find the answers to my questions. She can do magic (impactful therapy I mean) through a screen! Pretty amazing if you ask me.
​
I just had one on one conversation with my parents, and for the first time in my life, I was able to wholeheartedly thank them for everything they have given me. Thanks to Ceri for helping me let go of all my past burdens, I can now have such a peaceful relationship with my family.
​
I think mental health is still a taboo amongst Asian community. It might be messy at first but there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and the view at the end of it is worth the mess. Ceri Lan can definitely help you. She created great impact in my life.

...see past one's current pattern and ask valuable relevant questions that open up hidden aspects of my emotions and thoughts.
I went through a very difficult time back in April and it mostly makes me question myself and where I stand alone as an individual.
Ceri Lan came like an angel to hold a safe space for me to observe myself and everything inside and out. She is a very compassionate and empathetic therapist. She can see past one's current pattern and ask valuable relevant questions that open up hidden aspects of my emotions and thoughts. She helped me to open up areas of my belief and value system that I was not aware of before. She is friendly, personal, respectful, very understanding, resourceful yet creative with detailed guidance and tools to help me navigate through my problems.
​
Through working with her, I was able to deepen my understanding of myself. I gained tools that I can implement in my daily life to be more grounded and mindful. I could strategize how I can best deal with my issues in the long term.
​
Every session with her is intimate, dearing, so liberating, and full of trust! The peace I feel during and after the program is indescribable and I am still carrying it with me daily. I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend Ceri Lan.

Ceri Lan is compassionate and she has the heart of existentialism. She is a true existentialist who knows that we may never know the answers but from this, we may learn acceptance of what is and remain in the moment in peace and equanimity.
Her love can help heal the world one person at a time. May she build many dreams for others as she constructs her own. May the journey continue to bring enlightenment, joy, and challenges to form deeper learning along the way.

Ceri Lan has consistently excelled and won many academic awards namely Valedictorian for her Bachelor’s Degree.
I found her very intelligent, hardworking, self-motivated, and consistently pleasant while having the drive to tackle all the problems with great dedication.
Besides being a very pleasant individual to work with, she is a responsible, honest, trustworthy person. She does not hesitate to explore beyond her comfort zone in order to solve any problems especially when it comes to research. It is worth mentioning her outstanding perseverance, consistency, and skills in carrying out the research work.

I am entirely confident of her abilities with no doubt.
​
I have known Lan for fourteen years as a student at Taylor’s University who was the first recipient of the fellowship awards to pursue a Doctoral Degree.
Yet, besides her academic achievements, I witnessed her hard work, sincerity, maturity, and character throughout her studies. Lan is someone who can make judgments with intelligence, common sense, and integrity.
I am very proud of Lan and I am entirely confident of her abilities with no doubt.
"In the relationship between me and your father, there were times when we disagreed. You were always impartial and remained emotionally balanced. Your calmness and peacefulness helped us heal our wounds. Once again, I witnessed your capacity to love so generously. You can forgive to listen so thoughtfully and attentively. Your good wills are expressed through your words, so warm yet sharp. You are gifted with the ability to empathize with hidden thoughts behind each quarrel. You drew us back to the present and helped us see the bigger picture. I realized I am the one who must change before I want to change others."
