Wei Zhao, Licensed Independent Social Worker

Hello there. I want to express how glad I am that you have taken this important step toward improving your mental and emotional well-being, and I would be genuinely happy to join you on your journey. Throughout my years as a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with many individuals who have experienced mental health challenges related to sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD). It has absolutely become my passion to work with each of you for these issues. If you would like to, please go to my website I posted under my profile picture to learn more about me. My approach is rooted in empowering you to develop the skills and resilience needed to overcome these challenges. I utilize evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), to help you develop coping skills and resilience. In closing, I would like to say that you are a valuable individual with strengths and abilities. What a great pleasure for me to join you in your journey toward healing and growth. I believe that change is possible and that you have the strength and resilience to overcome any obstacles that may come your way.

Hi, this is an invitation to come home to yourself. To give you a brief introduction, I’m a licensed therapist and owner of Safe Mind Counseling, providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care for clients seeking real support. At Safe Mind Counseling, we understand how hard it can be to reach out—especially when you’ve spent years holding everything together, being misunderstood, or feeling like you have to explain yourself just to be heard. Our trauma-informed, culturally sensitive clinicians truly understand the weight of lived experiences, identity, and unspoken pain. We know life doesn’t pause for healing. That’s why we offer after-work evening appointments and weekend sessions, so therapy can fit into real life—not add more stress. We also accept most insurance plans, because getting support shouldn’t feel out of reach. If you’ve been carrying too much on your own, this is a place where you don’t have to anymore. You deserve care that understands you, respects your background, and meets you where you are. Reaching out can be the first step toward feeling supported, seen, and less alone—and we’re here when you’re ready.
