Therapist
Pronouns: she/her/hers
People have inherent power to transform their lives. However, overcoming the obstacles to healing and happiness can be daunting. You don’t have to walk in the darkness alone–I will walk with you and hear you as you awaken that power within you. I see strengths in every human being, and I support my clients with creativity and compassion to transform their unique experiences and wounds into what is serving their life purpose.
About Chenwei
I am a bilingual art therapist providing counseling and art therapy in Mandarin and English. I practice cultural humility, meaning I always examine my cultural lens and humbly learn about your culture to understand and serve your needs in therapy.
Working with Chenwei
My values stand for authenticity, compassion, creativity, and openness. My approach to therapy is client-centered and relational. Together, we will create a safe, compassionate, and encouraging space for your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and goals. As a mental health clinician specialized in art therapy, art can be a way of communication to enrich the therapy experience in our session. I would encourage you to express your feelings with a pen, drawing, or any art medium you want to experiment with (but it is up to you to decide what is comfortable). Our space is non-judgemental, but creative and empowering.
Specialty
I specialized in gender, sexuality, kink, complex trauma, self-esteem, relationships, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, interpersonal trauma, disordered eating, body, dysmorphia, cultural identities and survivor of childhood abuse.
