Arthur Sun

Arthur Sun offers therapy that balances direct honesty with gentle support, helping clients make meaningful changes in their lives. With five years of clinical experience and licensure as a clinical social worker in California (CA LCSW 129742), Arthur brings both professional training and personal insight to the work.

They draw on lived experience as a queer, transgender, Taiwanese-American, and autistic person to inform a collaborative, individualized approach. Treatment can be somatic-leaning, philosophically inclined, skills-based, or a blend of these methods depending on each person’s needs.

Arthur’s clinical background is primarily in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which is closely related to cognitive behavioral approaches, and this training shapes how they address both internal struggles and the external forces that limit choice. Therapy also attends to community responsibilities and the social realities that affect wellbeing.

When therapy has accomplished its goals, Arthur aims for a healthy conclusion to treatment so clients can move forward independently. They are committed to supporting people who have been overlooked by institutions that do not reflect their experiences, and to creating space for those who have been told they are the problem to instead be seen and understood.
