Let's find the right next step
This isn't a booking page. Depending on what you need, here are the two best ways to reach the right place.
Interested in therapy?
I see clients at Ellie Mental Health in Monrovia, California. Their team handles all scheduling, insurance, and intake — reach out and let them know you'd like to work with Joy Bao.
In person in Monrovia, close to Arcadia, Temple City, San Marino, Pasadena and the wider San Gabriel Valley. Online sessions are available for clients elsewhere in greater Los Angeles.
Non-clinical inquiries only
For speaking, writing, or professional connections. Please do not share clinical or personal health details here — for therapy, use the Ellie Mental Health link.
In an emergency
If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (dial 988) at any time. If there is immediate danger, call 911.
