Peggy Loo, PhD

I enjoy working with high achieving professionals, working parents, and caregivers that often have little space or time to care for themselves. As a psychologist, I’ll teach you about how mood, trauma, or whatever tools I’m using works so you can deepen self-understanding and feel empowered. I’d describe myself as collaborative, curious, and highly conversational in session. I balance encouragement, self-discovery, and gentle challenge.

In sessions, I focus on helping you make insightful connections and foster actionable change - so you can let go of what's not working and strengthen what does. We may tackle something you’re struggling with in the present, or sometimes I'll encourage us to unpack key past experiences or unresolved traumas that may be keeping you stuck. We may practice new skills for strong emotions and self-criticism or restore trust in your body’s cues and instincts.

I’m passionate about equity and healing for all from experiences of oppression as a path to individual and collective health. I’m deeply invested in BIPOC mental health and dedicated to helping people from AAPI communities destigmatize therapy.
