Getting to know Kristy Zhen
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Bay Area, serving children and adults throughout California via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and have 10 years of experience working with youth in educational settings, along with 4 years of professional experience as a therapist.
I'm excited to work with young women of color and non-binary people of color who are navigating adulthood and working on defining themselves. Maybe you are facing stressors related to your love life, career, balancing personal and family responsibilities, or feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Together, we may uncover underlying trauma or self-limiting beliefs, work on boundaries, and explore and better understand your needs. Perhaps this is the first time you are able to prioritize your mental health, which is a crucial first step in investing in and valuing YOU. Let's go on this journey with the self-compassion and softness you deserve.
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.
