Testimonials
“This is my first time seeking therapy, and I was initially hesitant because I wasn’t sure if I would find the right fit. However, my experience with Caitlyn has been amazing. She’s been incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive throughout the entire process. I also really appreciate that Caitlyn and Dr. Li’s team are willing to accommodate a sliding scale fee, which made starting therapy much more affordable for me. Dr. Li and her team are truly wonderful, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who might be feeling nervous about starting therapy, especially if you're looking for a more affordable option.”

Ripples in the Pond symbolizes how a small action can create a continuous and expanding impact, helping individuals reach their fullest potential and thrive in all aspects of life.
At The Pond, we believe that everyone should have access to therapy and the opportunity to find a space of calm and peace away from the noise of daily life. We understand that obstacles—whether financial or related to the stigma surrounding therapy—can make accessing support challenging. That’s why we created the Ripples in the Pond program, to bridge the gap between these barriers and access to care.
We offer a diverse team of highly skilled psychotherapists who work alongside Dr. Li, the Director of Clinical Services, to provide the highest level of care to our clients on a sliding scale. The Pond offers both in-person and online services, ensuring flexibility to meet your needs.
Our therapists have experience working with clients at all stages of their therapy journey, from those seeking therapy for the first time to those with years of experience. Regardless of where you are on your path, our team is committed to meeting you where you are and providing the best support possible.
Therapists at the Pond offer therapy in several languages including English, Mandarin/ Cantonese Chinese, and Spanish.

“I am deeply grateful for the support and guidance I received from Colin during the year and a half we worked together. From the very first session, he created a safe and welcoming space where I felt truly heard and understood. Colin is an exceptional listener who genuinely remembers your concerns and works with you to find the best path forward, tailored to your unique needs and pace.
Even when it was time for me to transition to another therapist, Colin went above and beyond to ensure the process was smooth and supportive. His willingness to help during that time showed his genuine care for my well-being and growth.
I also want to highlight the company, The Pond, which has shown a great willingness to work with clients through a sliding scale. They genuinely want to help people and provide meaningful guidance. The diversity of therapists at The Pond provides a greater range of understanding and inclusivity. As an Asian person, it was so refreshing and reassuring to share my cultural concerns without having to spend time explaining them in detail. This cultural awareness cuts down time for both clients and therapists, allowing for deeper and more focused conversations.
Thanks to Colin’s expertise, compassion, thoughtful guidance, and supportive environment at The Pond, I have grown a lot and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. I highly recommend Colin and The Pond to anyone seeking skilled, empathetic, and culturally aware therapy services.”
