张悠然
Humans are social animals; we are wired to connect with one another. The ability to cultivate and maintain healthy, authentic relationships with ourselves, as well as with our loved ones, plays a big part in achieving an overall sense of well-being. It is through my own struggles and challenges that I know the positive role therapy can play in supporting our healing and growth as individuals, as well as in creating healthy relationships with other human beings and the external world.
My approach...
I am a firm believer in the strengths and innate wisdom that each of us carry, and that my role is to work with you collaboratively to uncover and utilize these unique strengths and wisdoms in order to achieve your goals, through the therapeutic process. As a queer woman of color who is also an immigrant, the intersectionality of my identities and my lived experiences has created a unique perspective from which I see the world and the mental health of people who come from marginalized communities.
I approach therapy from a person-centered and socioculturally attuned framework. I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities, including narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) and Gottman method couples therapy.
Professional training & memberships...
I am a student of the Master’s of Arts in Couples and Family Therapy at Antioch University. I am also completing the coursework for the Sex Therapy Certificate Program at Antioch University, alongside my internship. I am also Gottman Level 1 Certified
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism when I lived in China. I started working in the mental/behavioral health field in 2021, mainly with facilities that provide higher levels of care.
I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and the Washington Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (WAMFT). I am currently also serving as part of the Elections Committee for WAMFT.
