Dr. Hsueh's journey began in Southern California, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of California, San Diego, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Driven by a passion to understand the intricacies of couple relationships, she pursued her graduate studies at Texas A&M University, earning both her master's and doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology. During this time, she received specialized training in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) and Insight-Oriented Couple Therapy, laying the foundation for her expertise in relationship dynamics.
Her commitment to excellence led her to complete an APA-Accredited Pre-Doctoral Internship at the University of Michigan, followed by two years of APA-Accredited Postdoctoral Fellowship in Women's Behavioral Health at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Since becoming licensed as a psychologist in 2013, Dr. Hsueh has worked across various settings, including medical centers, university counseling, and private practice, continuously honing her skills and expanding her knowledge.
Dr. Hsueh's approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a particular focus on Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). Her extensive training in this field, culminating in her certification as an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, allows her to offer cutting-edge, scientifically-backed interventions to her clients.

Whether working with couples stuck in repetitive arguments or individuals struggling to find meaningful connections, she employs her expertise to guide clients towards greater understanding, intimacy, and fulfillment in their relationships.

Dr. Hsueh's multicultural background and experiences inform her practice, allowing her to work effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds. She has a particular interest in supporting Asian American clients and individuals who identify as highly sensitive persons.
