Many people who are facing difficulties ask the same question: where do I start? That fear of uncertainty can lead to a lack of confidence along with feelings of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. I believe that confidence begins with clarity. Hi, my name is Ni Zhang, a bilingual (English/Chinese) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master's degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. Currently practicing in the state of Texas, I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I love the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals.

I believe that life’s experiences are our greatest teachers and most valuable assets. Every moment, every challenge, and every success shapes who we are and guides us on our personal journey. If you’re struggling to find meaning or purpose in your experiences, I’m here to help you explore your story, embrace its uniqueness, and move toward living life to the fullest.
Born and raised in Nepal, I spent my early years in the village of Kanakot, Naubise, before relocating to Kathmandu at the age of eight to further my education. Rooted in Hindu philosophy, I was taught that true peace comes through Karma—our actions and intentions.

My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

As your therapist, I will accept and affirm your experience, diversity, and identity. It can be extremely lonely and isolating, especially in the modern era. Let's talk about it. I am trauma-informed and ready to work with you at the pace that feels comfortable for you.

I work with partners navigating the pain of infidelity, addiction, and betrayal—challenges that can deeply damage trust, but don’t have to end the relationship. Repair is possible. Drawing from the Gottman Method, I help couples recognize patterns such as constant criticism and contempt—clear red flags that erode connection. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I guide couples in uncovering the deeper emotional cycles beneath their arguments by exploring both secondary and primary emotions. My interest in the above topics has led me to write a book called Voice of Silence, which will be released this summer. Be on a Look out!

Life is filled with ups and downs, and having a container to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences can be immensely helpful. It's easy to let feelings and stress build up without addressing them, which could lead to anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck in your life. That's why therapy is so important. Therapy can provide you with an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and create new ways of responding to life’s daily challenges. It can also be a place for learning about how your past may be affecting your current experiences, as well as gaining insight into how others may be impacting your life.

They want a therapist who understands them, provides practical solutions, and creates a safe space.

You deserve to live a life that feels like your own—not one shaped by anxiety, past wounds, or the pressure to be someone you’re not. I’ve walked that path myself, and I’m passionate about helping others uncover who they truly are beneath the layers they’ve had to wear to get by.
In our work together, I offer a compassionate space where you can explore the experiences, emotions, and beliefs that have been weighing you down. I work with individuals who are ready to reconnect with themselves, build healthier relationships, and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life.

Asian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.
How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?
You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?
A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?
The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
