About Me

    Hello there! I am Jiayu, and I’m professionally licensed in DC and Maryland. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology at Capital Normal University in my home country. With a strong sense of curiosity to learn more about different cultures, I decided to attend graduate school in the United States and earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling George Washington University at Washington DC.

    Life is beautiful and full of challenges, and sometimes it can be difficult and lonely to deal with everything by yourself. I believe that everyone is unique and have the strength to heal from difficult situations. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share as well as to be a listening ear and a compassionate support during our time together in therapy and help you uncover clarity, resilience, and balance.

    I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I value cultural sensitivity and I use an integrative approach to therapy because everyone is different and have unique needs. I believe in the power of building genuine connections with my clients. I use a strength-based approach to help my clients and family heal and thrive. I also incorporate expressive art-based and play-based approaches into my work since talking is not always the language for everyone.

    About Me

      I earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, with a specialization in clinical social work. During my clinical training, I provided psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents at a private practice.

      I focus on helping clients navigate life transitions, internet and pornography addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I strive to tailor my clinical approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

      Having previously worked as a website designer, I developed an interest in internet and social media overuse and addictions. I am particularly interested in the impact technology has on our psychological and social well-being, and I assist both adults and adolescents in overcoming addictive behaviors and harmful narratives.

      My approach is rooted in compassion, goal-oriented strategies, and collaborative care. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with my clients and accompany them on their personal journey.

      Outside of her clinical work, I enjoy drumming, connecting with other musicians, cooking, and exploring new trails and cities.

        About Me

          I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings, including schools, residential, outpatient, case management, addiction, and crisis counseling. I received my master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Maryland Baltimore and a bachelor’s degree in family science from the University of Maryland College Park. My specialty lies in guiding teenagers, young adults, and older adults through life’s ups and downs, with a focus on healing, empowerment, personal growth, and resilience.

          I believe that therapy should be as unique as you. That is why I take a person-centered approach, combining parts of psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive techniques tailored to your needs. Together, we will create a supportive space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings, making positive changes feel attainable.

          Outside the therapy room, I enjoy music, cooking, painting, going for nature walks, and spending time with my family.

          Whether you are facing life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss, or simply seeking support, I am here for you. Feel free to reach out, and let’s explore together whether I can be the companion you are seeking on your path to well-being.

          About Me

            I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Community Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of treatment settings. I’ve worked with individuals in their homes and schools who are at high risk for school failure, placements, or hospitalization. I have assisted individuals and families resolve personal and environmental problems which prevent them from achieving their highest level of psychosocial functioning.

            I’m well-versed in several counseling techniques, including but not limited to psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, REBT, and mindfulness interventions. I have experience working with a wide range of diagnosis, with an emphasis in treatment of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I have a compassionate approachable demeanor and take a client-centered approach. I am dedicated to my clients and care greatly for their growth and desired change. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety-provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience.
