Bohao Zhang
M.ED, LPC

As a therapist, I want to provide a space for my clients to be heard and supported, particularly those within male and Asian-American communities. I was inspired to become a therapist after witnessing the mental health disparities during the Covid-19 pandemic. My prior STEM background further enhances my clinical abilities to identify underlying issues, develop actionable solutions, and understand the nuanced experiences of my clients. As a solution-focused counselor, I have supported clients with diverse identities and presenting concerns across the lifespan. I work with all ages.

My specialty areas include navigating life transitions, managing anxiety and depression, understanding self and others, and exploring immigrant/second-generation identities. My goal is to assist clients in navigating their current concerns to reclaim both excellence and fulfillment in their lives.

In sessions, I strive to create a collaborative environment where clients and I can engage in meaningful conversations that foster positive growth. My past clients have often described their counseling experience with me as encouraging, enriching, and empowering. As a Chinese-American, I provide therapeutic services in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

Depending on my clients’ experiences and values, I draw upon various clinical approaches including:

• Strength-Based Therapy

• Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

• Narrative Therapy

• Play Therapy

Outside of clinical work, you may find me experimenting with fusion recipes, training for triathlons (with Ironman aspirations), and sharing the funniest memes #Balance
