Meet Laihin

Hi. I am Laihin J. Cheung. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice since 1989. I received my MSW degree from the University of Maryland in 1984. My practice is located in Sunnyvale, CA. In addition to English, I speak Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese.

I enjoy working with many types of clients including children (starting at age 10), adolescents, adults and seniors. I provide therapy designed to enhance coping skills, communication skills, stress management and relief from PTSD. I draw on my training in cognitive behavioral therapy; solution-focused short term therapy; energy psychology and Laihin’s Trauma Cleansing Therapy to provide an individualized treatment plan for each client.

LAIHIN’S TRAUMA CLEANSING THERAPY

Over the 30 years I have worked as a therapist and through my experiences of working with clients and developing my knowledge and skills about mental health problems, my vision has widened. I felt that there was still something missing in my treatment regimen.

One day, there was a crisis during a session that challenged me and I had to contain it. The compulsion to take charge triggered my instincts, clinical reactions and spiritual wisdom. A new idea popped in my mind and I tried a new clinical strategy. It worked. I was amazed. I have continued to use it with clients and develop my research. More research and accumulated experiences have convinced me that this strategy intervention is extremely effective in removing PTSD. And so, I develop Laihin’s Trauma Cleansing Therapy.

I have developed procedures and manuals for Laihin’s Trauma Cleansing Therapy. It takes anywhere from one to four sessions to remove a single trauma episode. My clients feel instant relief from the trauma and the memory does not bother them anymore. The treatment outcomes speed up the recovery process. A transformation of personality is soon noticeable. My clinical experience with this therapy has propelled me to believe that almost all depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, alcohol and substance abuse issues, etc. are trauma related disorders. The removal of the energy around the trauma sets the mind, emotions and body free. Some of the things my clients say: It is amazing. It is a miracle. I feel great, the memory does not bother me anymore. It is like a dream, It is a true life changing therapy .
