I am licensed in California and New York and provide online therapy in both states.

I am a relational therapist. I believe good relationships bring healing. My work will start with building trust in a safe and non-judgmental space. My approach will help you to dig out rooted problems, learn adaptive coping skills, reconcile with your difficult emotions, gain insight into past and current experiences, and find closure to your psychological wounds. Mindfulness is integrated into my clinical practice to help you connect with your body, cope with your intrusive thoughts, improve your concentration, and enjoy the present moments. I work well with clients with reflective capacities. I facilitate explorative and reflective conversations to help you find your own solutions to your challenges.

你好,我是Qian。我从没想过原来我的名字在英语语系下这么难发音,我曾经被叫过“Kian”, “Tian”, 或者“Quan”。在这些发音符号下,大家一定不会想到她对应的汉字是“茜”。我曾经问过我爸为什么要给我起这个名字,我爸说:“茜是一种草,‘野火烧不尽,春风吹又生’,我希望你能有小草这样顽强的生命力。” 我总会在第一次和来访者会面的时候问他们的中文名字怎么写,因为我想透过汉字看到名字背后的含义,看到个体???独特性。
当你看到这些文字的时候,我们至少有一个共性:认识汉字。我们或许还有很多共性以及差异性,这些共性和差异性将会是心理咨询的载体,我的心理咨询理论方法和思考将会是工具,帮助我们探索你每一段独特的人生经历。
我常听到别人说:“这件事都发生了,就这样吧”。 在心理咨询的过程中,我们会一遍又一遍回顾这些过去的经历,它可以是我们焦虑抑郁的情绪经历,也可以是一个事件,或者是一段思绪。 在回顾和探讨的过程中,我们对自己的经历有了更深的理解,更大的接受度,我们随之对这些经历的主人——我们自己,也有了更多更深的了解,也更加接纳热爱自己, 这就像丰满了羽翼的鸟,能飞得更高更远。
