Linda Zheng
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
I am passionate about working with teens and adults with historically marginalized identities and experiences.
I work with teens and adults who are navigating various challenges in their lives, such as healing from difficult experiences, navigating family and relationship dynamics, setting boundaries, communicating effectively, managing overthinking, keeping up with high expectations, navigating oppressive systems, and finding their voice in their personal and professional lives. Many of the individuals I work with have historically marginalized identities and experiences related to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and immigration and refugee backgrounds. As a result, we explore intergenerational trauma and resilience, historical traumas, cultural differences, generational gaps, and other aspects that shape your experiences and perspectives. We identify how these factors and impacts show up currently, and how they are (or are not) serving you in your present life.
