About us

Xou Yang, CMHC

Founder & CEO

My name looks scary, but it's pronounced 'Sue', like the Johnny Cash song.  I work with people with the following concerns: anxiety and stress management, trauma (religious/familial/PTSD), pornography addiction, relationship issues, and men's issues.  As a therapist, I want to assist you on achieving your goals and to help you live a happy life with the people you love; this can include healthier relationships with your spouse, other family members, or and increased self-respect and self-worth.

 

In my free time, in addition to spending time with my family, I enjoy doing activities such as playing boardgames with friends, cycling, playing disc golf, or exercising. On occasion I enjoy learning new things, such as playing musical instruments.

Leaf Frond Counseling

Some of us have experienced loneliness, hopelessness, and despair.  Here at Leaf Frond Counseling, we believe that change and growth is possible.

 

Our therapists are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with other evidence-based practices to help people develop the tools and strategies to decrease symptoms related to anxiety, trauma, and addiction and ultimately to heal from wounds of the past and other traumatic life experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

A therapy approach focused on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Therapy technique that uses bilateral stimulation to process memories.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

A strength-based therapy approach that is based on solution-building rather than problem-solving.

Some of the common barriers to counseling include:

  • Financial concerns

  • Fears of awkwardness or unfamiliarity

  • Feeling underrepresented in the therapist community

  • Fear that you will feel worse before you feel better

  • Concerns about scheduling or time commitment

  • Denial of an existing problem

  • Stigma

  • Bad experiences in the past

Costs

Here at Leaf Frond Counseling, we understand that counseling can be expensive.  However, we believe that you are worth investing in.  We offer affordable rates on a sliding scale.
