Guiding You on the Path of Self-Healing
According to the American Counseling Association, “Mental Health Counselors help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my clients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with life’s many obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide clients with effective tools to help them see the glass half full.
About Me
Hello! I'm Shahin, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan - here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. As a Wellness Counselor, my goal is to educate, support, and empower my clients. I aspire to create a safe space where we can explore values, set goals, and implement plans.
Since 2010, I have provided a number of specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences such as anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, grief and loss, eating disorders, self image and weight issues, cultural adaptability and more.
Growing up in Hong Kong, having lived in mainland China for 3 years, and in Michigan for 15 years, I can understand the complexity of cultural differences. Aside from English, counseling in Cantonese and Mandarin allows me to understand my client's prospective from their own native language.
Services I Offer
Virtual / Telehealth Therapy
Telehealth therapy is virtual therapy using a computer, smartphone, or tablet through a confidential and HIPPA complaint platform. Links to all virtual sessions are provided in appointment reminders from me to individual clients. Telehealth therapy allows access to therapy for most individuals, reduces the amount of time off of work or out of your day. You can have your therapy session in the comfort of your own home, car, or outside. You may find telehealth therapy allows more privacy and flexibility.
In-Person Therapy
If you are tried of zoom meetings, or prefer face-to-face interaction, in-person therapy may suit you better. In-person therapy sessions allow us to read each other's nonverbal cues to help support verbal communication. Sessions take place in a professional office setting away from your everyday life.
