Hi I’m Cathy Zhou!

What’s your story? Many of us grow up absorbing narratives about who we should be—whether shaped by cultural norms, societal expectations, or the voices of those closest to us. We juggle multiple roles: parent, employee, friend, or sibling. Amid the complexities of identity and the constant expectations to “be a certain way”, it’s easy to lose touch with our inner self that craves care and understanding. In our therapeutic space here, I offer a space where you can just be you – authentically, unapologetically, you – and where empowering conversations that foster growth, healing, and meaningful changes in your life.

Guided by a narrative and trauma-informed lens, I believe every person’s story holds unique and positive values, even in the face of hardship. You are invited to share what matters to you, whether it is breaking intergenerational trauma, navigating bicultural identities, exploring life transitions, or fulfilling new goals. 

As a bilingual, bicultural first-generation immigrant from China, I bring an appreciation for the beauty of diversity and the importance of authentic connection. I value creating a space where honesty, vulnerability, and humor are celebrated. So, what is your story? When you are ready to share with me, please feel free to shoot me an email and let us connect!
