Hi there, I am Yitong (Ashley) Li, a bilingual (Mandarin and English) LCSW. Life is tough sometimes, and relationship issues could be overwhleming too. I understand that you need a support. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to talk about it. I will work with to go through it, to heal and grow together. I am here to help! I am experienced in treating a range of issues including depression, anxiety, panic attack, stress management, grief, parenting, and family relationship issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My communication style is warm, empathetic, compassionate, and insightful. I like collaboratively working with clients and creating a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment for my clients to find their inner passion and direction.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize the evidence-based treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic approach . I often collaborate with clients on setting goals and treatment plans depending on client's personality style and needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My focus areas of practice are adolescents and adults who struggle with emotional distress, families, and immigrants who experience challenges in adjusting and integrating into new culture. I enjoy working with Chinese clients, especially new immigrants, and families. As a bilingual (fluent in Mandarin) therapist, I have the advantage of providing culturally sensitive and competent services to mandarin speaking clients.
