Mini Cheng, LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University and have experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.
My approach is reflective, relational, attachment-focused, and collaborative, grounded in a person-centered framework and trauma-informed lens. I believe people have an innate capacity to heal and grow, though life circumstances can sometimes make change difficult. I strive to create a genuine, empathetic, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood as they develop greater self-awareness and move toward growth.
Areas of Focus
● Trauma and attachment-related concerns
● Relationships and family dynamics
● Anxiety, depression, and stress management
● Emotional regulation
● Self-esteem and personal development
● Grief and loss
● Life transitions and adjustment
My work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I adapt these approaches to meet each client’s needs and incorporate play, creative, somatic, and other experiential ways of working to support exploration and self-expression across different ages.
With children and teens, I welcome opportunities to collaborate with parents when helpful to support the therapeutic process.
As an Asian immigrant, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to my work and I value working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I am interested in how cultural and family experiences shape our sense of self and relationships.
I provide counseling services in English and Mandarin Chinese.

我的諮商工作重視自我探索、人際連結、情感依戀，以及諮商師與來訪者之間的合作，並以來訪 者為中心的理念及創傷知情的視角為基礎。我相信每個人都有療癒與成長的能力，但生命中的經 歷有時會讓改變變得困難。我希望以真誠、同理、關懷與不帶評判的態度，創造一個讓來訪者感 到被聆聽與理解的空間，幫助他們更了解自己，並逐步走向成長。

- 焦慮、憂鬱與壓力管理
- 情緒調節
- 自我價值與個人成長
- 哀傷與失落
- 人生轉變與適應
諮商取向
我的工作受到認知行為治療（CBT）、辯證行為治療（DBT）、情緒取向治療（EFT）及內在家庭系統（ IFS）等取向的影響。我會依照每位來訪者的需要調整諮商方式，也會融入遊戲、創意活動、對身 體感受的覺察及其他體驗式方式，支持不同年齡的來訪者探索與表達自己的經驗。
與兒童及青少年工作時，我也會視需要與父母合作，共同支持諮商過程。
文化視角
作為一名亞裔移民，我重視文化與家庭經驗如何影響我們的自我認同與人際關係。我也很珍惜與 不同背景的來訪者一起工作，並從每個人的獨特經驗、身分與觀點中學習。
