Hello, my name is Dr. Emily Zhang! I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatments of adults (18+) who are struggling with depression , generalized anxiety, social anxiety, personality disorders, and in some cases, trauma recovery and grief and loss. My practice focuses on helping my clients understand their symptoms and the problems that impact their mood, so that they can overcome issues related to their depression and anxiety. I am fluent in English and Cantonese. I am not only bilingual, but bicultural as well and has had good success establishing rapport with diverse populations.

Are you experiencing a period of depression or anxiety? Are you struggling with raising a child or teenager? Are you wrestling with a work issue or close personal relationship?

Navigating life can be difficult. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in problematic relational patterns, struggling to find a different way. Maybe you criticize and put limitations on yourself. Perhaps you have endless empathy for everyone but yourself. Maybe you’ve turned to alcohol or substances to avoid the pain. Maybe you don’t feel much of anything at all. Perhaps you are simply in a rut and you don’t know how to get yourself out of it. The good news is, by simply looking for help you are on your way to regaining confidence, agency, and a fuller, more authentic sense of self. A self that CAN navigate the difficulties of life.

Are you feeling emotionally exhausted by your work as a healthcare professional? Has the work you once felt called to do become a source of strain and stress in your life and relationships? You are not alone. You can't pour from an empty cup. Let's refill it.

Cultivating meaningful-healthy relationships may be especially difficult when our sense of self is overshadowed by traumatic and emotionally painful experiences. My approach to the therapy process focuses on helping foster your innate strengths and resiliency while exploring your vulnerabilities and concerns. Together we help you build a greater understanding of yourself through healing limiting patterns, fears, and beliefs. In this way, you become rooted in a life grounded in meaning, aliveness, and depth. I believe that building a stronger relationship with yourself can help cultivate healthier relationships with others, making them easier to initiate, maintain, and enjoy.

I utilize cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused and dialectical behavioral interventions to help my clients bring about the necessary changes in their lives to feel comfortable and happy again and diminish the distress and discomfort they are feeling. By learning to focus on strengths and resources rather than past problems and failings, my clients report feeling less depressed and anxious, while looking forward to the days ahead. I am aware of the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do, and so I help my clients replace dysfunctional thoughts with more adaptive ones. Life is special.

Stress and worry can take its toll on our minds and bodies. If you experience high levels of these, or feel empty at the end of the day, I will provide a safe and caring environment with which to explore the causal factors. I enjoy working with codependency, Self-development, life transitions, and relational dynamics.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who came to practice later in life and believe my life's experience makes me a better therapist. I enjoy working with children and older adults in life transitions. I treat children who suffer from anxiety and depression and those that are victims of abuse, abandonment, and homelessness. I support Transgender & Gender Non-Conforming Clients. I also work with adults facing a life transition. This may be caring for an older parent, loss of a loved one, or a life threatening illness. These situations trigger a mixed bag of emotions that can be overwhelming.

Perhaps you have some symptom that's bothering you: writer's cramp, an embarrassing blushing problem, relationship or sexual difficulties, an eating disorder, a problem with anger, or perhaps you have debilitating anxiety attacks. Or you simply are unhappy, depressed and dissatisfied with your life, even though you are relatively successful. The list of possible symptoms is endless. As a psychoanalyst, I can assist you on the classic and still the most adventurous road to relief: the search for self-understanding. Also, should you need it, I offer short-term counseling and couples therapy.

I help clients to find their compass, to connect with others meaningfully and fully feel their feelings, fend off anxious or depressive thoughts and emotions through helpful and healthy coping skills. I bring curiosity and compassionately challenge you, support you to increase insight and action in your journey towards a more satisfactory life; expressing your full potential, finding what makes you tick, resolving past traumas, or managing symptoms of mental illness, so you can increase flexibility, resilience, and create a more balanced life. My style is mindful, embodied and playful, spiritual and grounded.
