Hi, I'm Jian (she/her), a counselor in training!

Counselor in Chicago, IL
Supervised by Shaysa Villa LCSW

About My Clients

Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked for a long time. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, LGBTQIA+ and identity-related challenges, and more. I provide services in English and Mandarin.

My Background and Approach

My work is informed by psychodynamic, relational, and person-centered approaches, while also incorporating practical tools from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based practices when helpful. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to each of my clients and work alongside them to find what feels most supportive and meaningful.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

One of the things I value most about being a therapist is witnessing the courage and resilience people bring into the room. I am often moved by those who continue searching for themselves, even when they feel exhausted, discouraged, or unsure where to begin. I strive to create a space where you feel deeply heard, understood, and supported. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
