Hello, I'm Dr. Zhang, Do you feel overwhelmed by life stress? Do you have difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or getting motivated? Depression and anxiety are common reactions to chronic or acute stress. It's important to take time and care for ourselves. I help clients understanding their current difficulties and developing effective strategies and solutions. Seeking therapy can be a scary process. It's difficult to be vulnerable with a stranger. I believe clients should be treated with compassion, dignity, and respect. I encourage you to reach out and begin the healing process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our initial one to two sessions consist of assessment and thorough understanding of your concerns and goals. The majority of my clients show meaningful improvement after 6 to 12 sessions. For clients who need longer term therapeutic support, individualized treatment process and pragmatic goals will be developed collaboratively.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My overall approach is client centered and psychodynamic, but I often utilize cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and applied behavior analysis techniques when appropriate.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My professional strengths are in the areas of psychological assessment and short-term psychotherapy. I have conducted over 40,000 psychological evaluations of children and adults over the course of my career. I enjoy working with motivated clients within the short-term psychotherapy framework.
