Getting to know Alice XiaoRan Zhao
Hello, I am glad that you stopped by! I am Alice (XiaoRan) Zhao. As an Asian woman and immigrant, I bring a unique perspective to my clients. I have personally dealt with challenges and barriers to adjusting to different cultures, identities, and societal expectations.
I provide a safe and healing space for you to work on frightening and stressful experiences that happened to you, whether they are traumatic events or discrimination you have encountered in your life. It is common to experience side effects of trauma, such as negative thoughts, difficult emotions, and physical responses.
Trauma can be hard to articulate with words and difficult to describe the memories related to it. In therapy, we can use Brainspotting to process these stressful experiences and symptoms without talking too much about them.
If you are an international student, first-generation immigrant, or international worker, I understand the many challenges we face here in the United States, such as dealing with USCIS and different types of visas, assimilating into a different culture, and learning a new language. As a counselor, I am not only dedicated to empowering individuals but also to bringing hope to their journey to recovery.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively on your path to healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In therapy, we are building a unique therapeutic connection with each other to help you develop trust and opening. I provide a safe space for you and my own personality comes into play as well (fun, humous and honest). In the first few session, we are exploring goals on what you want to work on, and how I can help. We work collaboratively on your journey to heal and flourish.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
