Mey S. Saephan, MS - LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Albany, CA, offering psychotherapy, EMDR, and LENS Neurofeedback Therapy for individuals, couples, and families.


Interpersonal relationships are among the most important building blocks of our lives. They are the bonds that create our families and provide us with security, fulfillment, and acceptance. When relationships are damaged, our lives can feel thrown into disarray. Lasting Affection Counseling Services provides family, marriage, and interpersonal relationship counseling to help you rebuild, strengthen, and rediscover joy in your relationships—with your family, partner, friends, and yourself.


As a marriage, family, and individual therapist with over 28 years of experience, I have helped hundreds of individuals and families renew vitality in their relationships, confront trauma and painful life experiences, and work through issues such as trust, confidence, empowerment, and life goals. I offer supportive and effective therapeutic approaches at every stage of life—from premarital and marital counseling to family counseling and individual therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, or abuse. By addressing and working through these challenges with professional guidance, you and your family can discover new strengths, deeper enrichment, and renewed, lasting connections.


In addition to traditional talk therapy, I incorporate several evidence-based approaches, including Lifespan Integration, EMDR, the Flash Technique, and Prepare/Enrich tools. I also offer LENS Neurofeedback, a gentle brain-based therapy that helps the brain regulate itself and can support the healing process for issues such as trauma, anxiety, and stress. You can learn more about this approach under the LENS Neurofeedback section of this website.


Faith-based counseling is available upon request. I am fluent in the Mien language and would be happy to provide counseling in that language as well.
