Bohao Zhang M.ED, LPC

As a therapist, I work closely with young adults as they navigate the challenges of college life (identity exploration, academic pressure, major life shifts etc.) drawing on proven methods suited to this stage of development. My background in university counseling informs a focused, strengths-oriented style that helps students gain direction and build confidence. My specialty areas include navigating life transitions, managing anxiety and depression, understanding self and others, and exploring immigrant/second-generation identities.

As a Chinese-American, I provide therapeutic services in both English and Mandarin Chinese. In sessions, I strive to create a cooperative environment where we can engage in meaningful conversations that foster positive growth. In session with me, students might notice that we begin with examining thought patterns, identifying existing strengths, and focusing on concrete steps to support lasting change.

Based on each student's values and lived experiences, I draw upon various clinical approaches, such as:
- Strength-Based Therapy
- Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Narrative Therapy
