Licensed Professional Counselor
Xin Qian
LPC
I believe growth begins when we understand the deep connections between our past, our relationships, and our sense of purpose. My experience as an elementary school counselor gave me a front-row view of the challenges children and families face, and it shaped my passion for helping individuals move from feeling stuck to living more authentically.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and make meaningful, practical changes. I also incorporate Adlerian and existential perspectives to explore early memories, life values, and how we seek belonging and significance in our relationships. Together, we look at both the big picture of your life and the everyday habits that shape your emotional well-being.
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, including those with ADHD, autism, and identity-related concerns . In my work with children, I utilize Child-Centered Play Therapy, allowing kids to express their feelings through play when words are not enough. I also support parents through coaching and guidance, helping families navigate school systems, IEPs, and 504 plans with confidence.
For adults, I focus on attachment patterns and relationship dynamics. Many of us carry “blueprints” from childhood into adulthood that influence how we connect with others. Using CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients restructure negative thought cycles, build psychological flexibility, and create more secure, fulfilling relationships.
I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, family concerns, anger management, and identity development . I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese (我会说中文) and welcome individuals and families seeking support in either language.
Whether you are looking for a safe space for your child or seeking direction in your own life, I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment where meaningful change can take place.
我会说中文,无论您是想为孩子寻找一个安全的发声窗口,还是想在迷茫的成年生活中重
