Our Mission

Rooted in community,
grounded in science

The name Banyan is not accidental. The banyan tree grows by sending roots downward from its branches — expanding outward while remaining deeply connected to its origins. It is a tree of belonging, shelter, and collective strength.

That is the spirit behind this practice. Meaningful mental healthcare begins with genuine understanding — not just of your symptoms, but of your culture, your history, your language, and the unspoken rules that shaped you.

"The strength of our collective backgrounds enriches your mental healthcare."

Whether you're a first-generation immigrant, a student overwhelmed by academic expectations, or a parent trying to find language for something you never had words for — Banyan was built for you.

Who We Help

We work best with people who feel unseen by traditional care

Immigrant & Diaspora Communities

First-, 1.5-, and second-generation immigrants navigating intergenerational dynamics, acculturation stress, immigration-related anxiety, and identity in a new country.

Asian, Asian American & Latino/a/x Clients

Clients who want a therapist who understands cultural expectations, family pressures, and the unspoken dynamics — from model minority stress to immigration and acculturation — that mainstream mental health settings often miss.

Students & Young Professionals

UC, Stanford, and California university students covered by student health plans (including Wellfleet), as well as early-career professionals across California managing burnout and transition.

LGBTQ+ Individuals

Affirming, identity-informed clinicians who understand the intersection of queer experience with cultural background and family dynamics.

Individuals Seeking Testing

Adults seeking neuropsychological evaluations for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or high-stakes exam accommodations (MCAT, LSAT, Bar Exam).

Ongoing therapy, one-time visits, and telehealth throughout California — because access matters.

Why Banyan

What makes us different

Your language, not a translation

Therapy delivered by providers who speak your language — not just fluently, but with the cultural and emotional literacy that comes from living it. Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and English.

Providers who share your lived experience

Many of our clinicians hold visible and invisible minority identities — immigrant backgrounds, cross-cultural upbringings, and experiences of systemic barriers.

Evidence-based care with cultural depth

Our providers are trained in the highest-quality therapeutic modalities — CBT, DBT, ACT, ISTDP, IFS, neuropsychological assessment — applied with genuine cultural nuance.

A full spectrum under one roof

Individual therapy, neuropsychological and psychological testing, and psychiatric medication management — all coordinated in one practice.

In-network with major plans

In-network with Blue Shield of California and Wellfleet — including UC Berkeley SHIP, UC Irvine SHIP, and Stanford Cardinal Care.

Two Bay Area locations

Burlingame on the Peninsula and San Jose in the South Bay, plus secure telehealth throughout California.
