New to Grow
Hi, I'm Dr. Heather Zeng a licensed counselor for 25 years supporting individual's in their capacity to live their lives fully. I bridge specialization in life and work role stress. I have worked with a range of diverse clients in coping skills to mediate a range of challenges they face in their day to day lives and can help you too.
In our first session, you can expect a structured, supportive intake where I get to know you, your history, and what’s bringing you to therapy right now. I’ll guide you through an assessment that helps us understand your patterns, strengths, and stress points, and together we’ll create a clear blueprint for your next steps. By the end of that first meeting, you’ll walk away with a sense of direction, a plan we’ve built collaboratively, and a grounded understanding of how we’ll move forward in therapy.
Clients often tell me that I’m direct, supportive, and efficient. I get to the heart of what’s keeping them stuck and help them move toward change with clarity, focus, and compassion. My approach is grounded, honest, and collaborative—
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful, values‑aligned changes in their lives. I work especially well with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin, yet still have a spark of motivation and a desire for clarity, confidence, and direction. My ideal clients are curious, open to trying new skills, and committed to building healthier patterns in their relationships, work, and inner world. Together, we turn insight into action and create a life that feels grounded, intentional, and authentically theirs.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT therapy, a mindful and healing approach that empowers clients to move boldly and in line with their values-- ultimately transforming their lives in practical ways.
Adlerian
I tap into Adlerian therapy, which looks at early development, early influences, and lifestyle factors. Clients explore issues of significance, belonging, and purpose within their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT with clients to help them understand their thoughts, shift the patterns that keep them stuck, and develop skills that create real, sustainable change in their daily lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT with clients to help them harness their emotional intensity, stay present in tough moments, and take powerful, skillful steps toward the life they want.
Reality Therapy
I use Reality Therapy with clients to help them clarify what they truly want, examine whether their current choices are moving them closer to those goals, and build practical, effective actions that create meaningful change.
