Tzu-Chen Cheng

My communication style

My communication style is calm, empathic, and reflective. I strive to build a safe environment where clients can feel supported and heard, while offering honest feedback without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in people and wanted to help them when they are hurt. Over time, I learned that I am able to hold people's truths and allow them to feel heard. I find joy in seeing clients as they learn to navigate life better and become a better version of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to collaborate with clients to establish what they want to address first. As we develop more trust and continue working together, we will come up with new goals and track the progress. It is not unusual for goals to shift several times in the course of our work together.

Our first session

What you can expect during the first session is largely me listening to you to get a sense of what has been happening to bring you to therapy now. I may ask questions to better understand what you may be struggling with. I want to establish trust and safety that would serve as a foundation for our work going forward.
