My name is Faye (Yuanfei) Zhang, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with the perinatal population — individuals navigating the emotional weight of pregnancy, postpartum transitions, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and reproductive health decisions. I also have experience working with college students and immigrants, supporting them through the unique emotional challenges that come with major life transitions. I take a gentle, client-centered approach, meaning we move at your pace, and nothing is ever rushed. I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps us tune into the emotions beneath the surface, understand what you truly need, and begin shifting patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I believe your cultural background is not separate from who you are — it is part of you. In our work together, I would love to explore how your culture, values, and lived experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and the world around you. You never have to leave any part of yourself at the door. I want to hear your story. Our early sessions are about building real connection and there's no pressure to have everything figured out or to know exactly what you need. Clients often tell me they leave feeling genuinely heard, sometimes for the first time. It feels like an honest conversation, and yet by the end, something has already begun to shift.
