Chinese Therapy Services in Maryland
用中文，说心里话
Culturally sensitive therapy for Chinese and Chinese American individuals delivered by Mandarin-speaking therapists who truly understand you.
我们理解你 · WE UNDERSTAND
Therapy in Your Language-Both Spoken and Cultural
In many Chinese families, mental health is rarely discussed openly. Seeking therapy can feel like admitting weakness, bringing shame to the family, or betraying cultural values. We deeply understand these barriers because our therapists have lived them too.
Our founder Alice Zhao (赵晓然), who speaks fluent Mandarin, and fellow Mandarin-speaking therapist Mark Wang (王清源) bring both clinical expertise and genuine cultural understanding to every session.
Whether you are a first-generation immigrant, a 1.5-generation navigating two worlds, or a second-generation Chinese American feeling the pull between cultures you are welcome here.
✔ Mandarin-speaking therapists (Alice Zhao and Mark Wang)
✔ Deep understanding of Chinese family dynamics and Confucian values
✔ Respect for cultural attitudes toward mental health no rushing you
✔ Evidence-based methods adapted for Chinese cultural context
✔ Helping you grow authentically while honoring tradition
✔ Virtual sessions available protecting your privacy from community exposure
