Hello, I'm Zhiran (Jack) Li, a Mental Health Counselor with 4 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As an international student and immigrant, I understand the unique pressures of balancing expectations, adapting to change, and finding a sense of belonging. I often work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking, struggling with self-doubt, or seeking greater clarity, confidence, and direction in their personal and professional lives.

I am a warm, caring clinician that sees clients with many different kinds of issues. I have a specialty in the treatment of OCD, addictions, and job stress. I treat OCD utilizing IFS, EMDR, and AEDP Therapy. I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. I also treat many other forms of addictions. I am fully certified in two evidence based therapies: 1) EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and 2) IFS or Internal Family Systems Therapy. In a very SAFE manner, these methods of therapy go deeper and are VERY effective. I emphasize the word SAFE because NOTHING is ever discussed unless YOU are comfortable discussing it. You're "the boss" as to what we cover or discuss in therapy.

When I first meet with my clients, I emphasize at the start that I am providing them with a safe, nonjudgmental space for our work together. I then listen carefully to my client’s concerns. Listening, in fact, is a very important component to the therapy I provide. Once I understand my client’s concerns, I carefully tailor my approach to their needs, offering the psychotherapy techniques that will help replace destructive patterns of thinking with healthy, alternative thought patterns. Throughout my many years of practice, I have found that a significant number of clients achieve positive outcomes with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Cognitive behavioral therapy is a solution-based, structured form of therapy that directly addresses problems by offering a positive, pragmatic approach to shift negative emotions, behaviors, and thoughts to positive ones. Clearly, the more positive one feels, the more likely one is to accomplish one’s goals in life. During the initial evaluation, the client and I identify the emotional response to a problem (e.g., transition from: “I feel like a failure because my boss criticized my project,” to “My boss complimented me on my previous three projects, so I clearly have the ability to do well in this job.”). To achieve this shift in thought pattern requires work; cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on solutions to facilitate this. The main strategy I utilize is to create a personalized series of exercises to work on during our sessions, and for the client to complete at home. An ongoing assessment becomes part of every visit and will show the client’s progress. In conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy, I offer talk therapy. During our sessions, I strive to create a trusting relationship with my clients so that they feel comfortable discussing specific problems, whether big or small.

Hi, I’m Angelica, Healthy Relationship Expert for high-achieving professionals who have a great life, but keep finding themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns & are ready to heal them now! You’ve probably wondered how you can be so successful in life but keep struggling in relationships and I’m here to tell you that it’s not your fault- you just haven’t identified the root cause that keeps you settling and giving too many chances. When we work together, I’ll take you through my proven process to keeping your dignity and healing the patterns preventing you from having healthy relationships that last. Clients who have committed to this process and applied it to their life have seen results such as: finding the love of their life and getting into a long-term loving relationship with open and healthy communication, no longer being the doormat in their family dynamic, improving their co-parenting, renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem, and more! If you’re ready to stop settling, do the inner-work, and finally have healthy, happy, fulfilling relationships, I invite you to inquire about working with me. From someone who's been there, I know it's worth the investment to heal these patterns at the root so that you can have healthy relationships now and forever.

I help clients navigate identity exploration, trauma, grief, relationship challenges (familial or intimate), and major life transitions—like adjusting to adulthood or stepping into a more authentic sense of self. These liminal, in-between stages can be tricky to navigate and are often marked by anxiety, depression, or a fragmented sense of self, leaving folks feeling emotionally untethered. While we must lead ourselves to authenticity, it can help to have a thoughtful, attuned guide who walks alongside us—offering new perspectives, practical coping skills, and questions that gently challenge deep-rooted assumptions. I enjoy working with young adults on the precipice of independence, older adults facing aging-related transitions, couples, and folks with marginalized or liminal (Biracial, Bicultural, nonbinary, genderqueer, etc.) identities. Together, we reduce fear, shame, and relational distress, while cultivating authenticity, inner wisdom, and emotional resilience. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and unfamiliar. If you're unsure whether we'd be a good fit, I'm happy to meet with you, answer any questions, and elaborate on my approach to therapy. You're not alone in taking this first step—and you don’t have to do it without support.

I work with my clients in two complementary ways: skilled EMDR to target trauma-related distress, and explorative relational talk therapy that utilizes psychoanalytic and existential theories to better understand repeating patterns, attachment, identity, and life direction concerns. My work with you can be done with either an EMDR-focused start, relational-focused work, or both as your needs evolve. I enjoy working with adults (18+) who are aiming for both lasting relief and a deeper understanding of who they are and what they want out of life.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone." -Anne Frank We are all affected by what is happening today. Families are divided. Stress, depression, and addictions are at all-time highs. If you need help navigating your life and making sense and meaning in this world, I am here to help you. Please reach out and we will walk through this together. I offer a unique approach that utilizes a combination of deep therapy in individual sessions plus more holistic offerings, such as guided meditation and grounding exercises.

Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and it is imperative that you find the right fit.

Please check your spam folder, as my responses occasionally wind up there.

TELE HEALTH Life can simply work better at times with some help. Psychotherapy is an effective tool, both to resolve deep seated difficulties rooted in the past and to make headway with the more immediate issues in our present day lives. It can help relieve anxiety, depression and stress and can help you with relationships with family, at work and in a more general way. My approach is interactive, using a psychoanalytic context to understand current difficulties. While clients want to better deal with long-standing issues rooted in the past, they also want present - oriented help resolving these troubles.
