How do I practice as a therapist?

Individual/Adult Counseling: Most people will have the following similar feelings at some point in their lives: feeling that life is complicated and unable to sort out their feelings or thoughts; feeling that they are trapped, unable to move forward or do not know where to go; feeling that relationships are too complex and challenging that you want to give up. Having these emotions or thoughts is not “different” or “sick.” This is just an idea that humans naturally have when facing some challenges in life. Together we can face your negative emotions and thoughts and find out what work best for you to cope.

Child/Adolescent/Family Counseling: Problems such as refusing to go to school, rebellion, anxiety, depression, and self-harm are huge challenges for both parents and children. It could be very lonely and helpless for parents when they are the only to help their children. I hope to help both parents and children to find the most suitable solution, so that children can enjoy their life freely and happily. I also have extensive experience working with ADHD children: I help ADHD children to develop healthy behavioral habits, and I can provide corresponding psycho-education to ADHD parents.
