Hi, my name is Ning! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. For the past 7 years, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and older adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, major life changes, complex mental health conditions. I specialize in mood disorders, using cognitive and somatic techniques along with talk therapy to address root causes and support lasting growth. I adapt my approach to your needs—whether you’re seeking structure and skills, deeper self-understanding, or both. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard and understood. In our first sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your goals and building a foundation of trust. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and find practical tools to help you move toward healing and growth.
