I enjoy providing supervision to licensed mental health professionals who seek to advance their clinical knowledge and skills in their practice I am sensitive to cross-cultural factors and respect that people are experts in their own care. In addition to English, I speak Mandarin Chinese fluently. I can conduct therapy in both English and Mandarin Chinese simultaneously. My bilingual capacity is a great asset, especially for those Mandarin-speaking immigrant families that raise an English-speaking younger generation. I am also honored to be the 2019 Recipient of the WAMFT Diversity Award. My professional involvement goes beyond the counseling room and academic settings. I deeply care about the issues of mental health accessibility to the public and of advancing the professional field as a whole. In April 2018 I was honored to be invited by American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy to meet and speak with Congressional members in Washington D.C. to advocate for the marriage and family therapists as eligible Medicare providers in the U.S. https://www.v2020counseling.com/faq daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg FAQ https://www.v2020counseling.com/individual-therapy daily 0.75 2024-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e346a7bb3de93bd43e433a/1649305130307-SRGMYST3TX13JILF5VEF/unsplash-image-vngzm4P2BTs.jpg Individual - For individual counseling, I work from a relational perspective, meaning that we will work together in the process of self-discovery by exploring your thoughts, emotions and behaviors both now and in your family of origin and past relationships.

Are you tired of the shouting matches between you and your children? Especially if your children retort in a language different from you. Are you getting frustrated as an immigrant, and seeing your children facing challenges adapting as a second or third generation immigrant? Do your children feel that you are an embarressment to them, especially since you are different from the other parents in school? Do your children experience additional challenges, because their parents are of different racial identities? It may be that you just want additional strategies and support to use in your relationship with your child at home. https://www.v2020counseling.com/discernment-counseling daily 0.75 2024-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e346a7bb3de93bd43e433a/a19f84cb-188d-4ddb-b99a-df700950bff9/RuanDCCertBadge.png Discernment Counseling - Make it stand out Certified Discernment Counselor - Ching Ching Ruan Ph.
