I am Clara Zhao, with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a National Certified Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, EMDR Therapist, and Clinical Hypnotherapist. As a Dallas Counseling provider, I specialize in Psychotherapy EMDR Therapy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy for all Texas residents.
My approach
I am an Eclectic Counselor. My approaches include Holistic-Based, Strength-Based, Solution-Based, Mindfulness-Based, Humanistic-Based, Multicultural-Based, and Person-Centered Styles from the psychological aspects to establish your expectations and utilize your strengths to overcome challenges for achieving your life goals in the unique experience of integrating Western Civilization and Eastern Wisdom.
My focus
I have found that my approach and specialty suit adults who may experience life distress and transitions through the symptoms of mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma-related PTSD, and substance use disorder, as well as wellness perspectives including weight loss, quick smoking, chronic pain, phobias, trouble sleeping, and anger management.
My communication style
Regarding multicultural competence, I am fully aware of cultural sensitivity and diversity. It encourages acknowledging and accepting differences in appearance, behavior, and culture. When leaving the therapy and evaluation makes you feel you have moved forward, it can create a more substantial emotional relief. You can sense more connection to expressing yourself in your preferred way while building rapport.
My journey to mental healthcare
My passion is to help people, and it makes me feel fulfilled if I can provide something meaningful for your life. I am empathic and compassionate about how you feel and what you think. I understand many things buried underneath your heart and inside your mind that you may inappropriately process in your life; it causes stress to build up internally consistently, which may burn you out and crash you down.
My goals for you
We are creatures always looking for danger, trouble, and problems to avoid and survive, such as moving away faster when dark clouds approach. This instinct is also a built-in self-defense mechanism inside of us. We develop survival skills to utilize the methods, tools, resources, and knowledge to avoid challenges for improving our lives. I am here to be your guide to accompany you in going through foreseeing challenges.
My first session with you
One of the most rewarding mental states is establishing multidimensional feelings and thoughts for you to overlap and contradict each other. The atmosphere that I illustrate will make you feel relaxed yet also make you feel stimulated. My counseling services could assist you in achieving complete life fulfillment and comforting your soul deeply while crossing life intersections. Let your memorable and inspiring journey begin.
