Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I became a therapist because I know what it means to be between worlds.
As someone who has navigated different cultures, languages, and identities, I understand the particular kind of loneliness that comes when your inner life doesn't quite have words yet — or when the words you have don't translate. That experience lives at the heart of everything I do.
I work primarily with women and individuals in the perinatal space — pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and loss — as well as college students and immigrants standing at crossroads moments in their lives. These are the seasons when we most need someone who can hold complexity without rushing to fix it.
My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) gives me a framework, but honestly, what guides me most is curiosity. I want to know what your life actually feels like from the inside — what you carry, what you've adapted to, what you've quietly set aside. I want to know how your culture shaped the way you love, grieve, and ask for help. And I want to sit with you in all of it, without judgment, without a predetermined destination.
Clients tell me our sessions feel like finally exhaling. My hope is that over time, that feeling stops being something you only find in a therapy room — and starts becoming something you carry with you.

A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
I am proudly and openly in long-term recovery myself from substance use disorders. Over the years I’ve learned that there are just many many ways to do this, and a lot of my job and specialty is helping people find and implement the path that works best for them. I offer a lot of “handholding” in the beginning, which seems really helpful for the people I work with. I’ve been told by others that I have a friendly, natural, casual and “organic” presence, which helps people relax and even have fun, which is really important to me.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Confronting pain requires bravery and self-awareness, but you don't have to go it alone. With the right professional support, meaningful, sustainable change is achievable. I have operated an individual, private practice since 2016, offering a unique blend of Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This combination allows me to work both practically, with clear tools and strategies, and relationally, exploring the deeper narratives and beliefs that shape how you see yourself and others. My approach is deeply relational and dynamic. I work collaboratively and with empathy to help you confront the stories you carry about yourself, and where relevant, about others too. Many clients come to me having built strong defensive traits over years, often as a result of difficult upbringings or unresolved trauma. My role is to create a space where those defences can soften enough for real change to happen. In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I spent over 20 years as Director of my own company, which gives me genuine insight into the pressures of professional and business life. I frequently work with people who are highly successful by external measures but privately struggling, helping them navigate the personal and professional dynamics that success alone doesn't resolve.
