Welcome to Mandarin Counseling
Is your child struggling in school or at home? Is there a current situation in your life you would like to improve? I can help.
We are living in challenging times. In our daily lives we are exposed to extraordinary degrees of stress and are bombarded with complicated information while being expected to perform at unprecedented levels. I offer a safe, supportive relationship where children, teens and adults can feel free to express their feelings, gain necessary self-confidence and try out more effective ways of thinking and behaving. My unique combination of education and experience has helped me gain valuable insight which I can pass on to my clients. The skills clients learn in sessions with me do not only address a current situation; clients are taught to generalize these skills to cope with, or even prevent future problems.
The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict, and how to reach our potential…. the needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual persons. I know that every client is unique and one size does not fit all. I incorporate my client’s strengths and interests into a unique treatment plan offering the optimal opportunity for healing and developing healthy coping skills. I would love to meet with you to discuss how I might assist you or your family achieve your goals for a healthier, happier life.
