Mental Health and Relationship Resources for Chinese and Asian American Individuals and Couples

Hi, I’m Dr. Ruoxi Chen — licensed therapist, professor, and mom of a spirited 6-year-old.

For over 16 years, I’ve supported Chinese and Asian American families through the emotional complexities of parenting, postpartum identity, relationship conflict, and family-of-origin dynamics.

My goal is to synthesize the most effective, actionable resources I’ve used in therapy — the ones that have helped my clients the most over the years.

What I Offer

While I’m not currently accepting new therapy clients, I offer a growing library of self-paced, culturally grounded digital resources — for parents, partners, and families navigating mental health and relational strain.

These tools are built from my clinical experience and lived understanding of what makes these transitions especially complex in Asian American households.

When Motherhood Feels Too Heavy — A Course for Chinese and Asian American Moms

If you're navigating postpartum exhaustion, emotional labor, and identity shifts after baby — this course was built for you.

Common themes I help clients and students navigate include:

• Postpartum distress, anxiety, and burnout

• Parent-child and in-law tension

• Perfectionism, invisibility, and cultural guilt

• Emotional disconnection in marriage

• Boundaries with family of origin

Whether you’re navigating new parenthood, family conflict, cultural pressure, or your own emotional patterns, these resources were created to help you feel less alone — and more equipped to move forward with clarity and self-trust.
