About Me
Hi I am Lushi Zhang. I love being a therapist, it gives me so much fulfillment and blessings to be able to work with so many amazing people like you who might have not realized how beautiful and wonderful they are yet.
No matter how difficult your situations are, or how bad you feel about yourself at the moment, this is not the end of the story. You're not alone, I am here to help you walk through this particular difficult part of your life. I love celebrating every small progress you make because I know you came a long way and it’s just the beginning of something much greater.
My therapeutic style is simple: non-judgmental listening, unconditional acceptance, strength-based empowerment, right amount of professional advice and challenges at the right timing. I always believe in teamwork, with you being the expert of yourself who is committed to make changes in your life, Me being someone who is very good at helping her clients strengthening their coping skills and restoring their relationships. I am sure we make a great team!
The best is yet to come, and I am looking forward to working with you.
