Getting to know Qianru Zhao

Hi, I'm Jean (you can also call me Qianru). I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with around 10 years of clinical experience. I have provided mental health services to adults from different racial and ethnic groups and enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds. I received my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2015. I can provide sessions in English or Mandarin. My approach I'm trained and experienced in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). In therapy, we will work on noticing and acknowledging your feelings when they arise. We will explore and develop new skills to help you better manage any overwhelming feelings so they are less likely to impact your life and relationships negatively. I will facilitate your awareness of any underlying maladaptive thinking patterns and help you learn to unhook from these thoughts so they no longer dominate your narratives. We will recognize your core belief systems, understand where they come from, and cultivate more helpful narratives to guide your life. We will explore and clarify your values and work on action changes (i.e., problem-solving skills, communication skills, self-care activities) based on the life you want to build and the person you want to become. My focus I specialize in helping adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, intergenerational conflicts, cultural adjustment, and stressful life changes. Being an Asian immigrant myself, I'm also passionate about supporting first- or second-generation immigrants and Asian/Asian American clients. My communication style I strive to build an authentic, judgment-free, and warm therapeutic connection with you, where you feel comfortable expressing yourself and being yourself. I can be inquisitive at times so we can deepen our understanding of the roots of your struggles and generate new insights through deep self-exploration.
