Meet Dr. Munn Saechao
UC Berkeley
The Wright Institute
PsyD, LCSW & PPSC
You may look capable on the outside, handling responsibilities, showing up for others, and keeping things moving, but underneath, you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally drained.
You might struggle with focus, motivation, or follow through. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting yourself, or feeling like you are constantly trying to keep up. Or as a parent, you may feel unsure how to best support your child while managing everything else on your plate.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you do not have to keep navigating it on your own.
Dr. Munn provides a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what needs care and attention.
A Thoughtful, Collaborative Approach
Dr. Munn’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms. Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect on what you have been carrying, and begin making sense of the patterns that may be keeping you overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.
Together, you and Dr. Munn work to build insight, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools that feel supportive and sustainable for your life. This process is about helping you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself as you move toward meaningful, lasting growth.
Who She Works With
Dr. Munn specializes in working with:
- High achieving teens navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, or low mood
- Adults who appear put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, disorganized, stuck, or disconnected.
- Parents who feel stretched thin, unsure how to help their child, or carrying the weight of family stress
Her clients are often thoughtful, driven, and capable, but need support making sense of what they are experiencing and finding a way forward that feels sustainable.
Experience and Credentials
With over 17 years in the mental health field and more than 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Munn brings depth, expertise, and a thoughtful perspective to her work with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
She is both a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. She received her BA, MSW, and PPSC from UC Berkeley and her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute. She completed her APA accredited internship at The Help Group in Los Angeles and her postdoctoral residency at Westcoast Children’s Clinic in Oakland.
Her experience spans hospitals, schools, and community settings, supporting clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional and behavioral challenges.
A Personal Perspective
Dr. Munn is deeply passionate about helping her clients heal, grow, and move toward lasting change. As an Asian American woman, a child of refugees, and a first generation college and graduate student, she brings a meaningful depth of empathy, cultural awareness, and lived understanding to her work.
Her personal experiences inform the way she connects with clients who may be carrying pressure, high expectations, self doubt, or the weight of trying to hold many roles at once. She brings this perspective into therapy with warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for each client’s story.
Outside of Therapy
Outside of her work, Dr. Munn values balance, connection, and growth. She enjoys spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, traveling, and continuing to learn through books, podcasts, and new experiences.

Dr. Munn specializes in working with clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression across the lifespan.
