Brithny Zhang, LMSW

Brithny knows what it feels like to be in a continuous evolution of the self. Through living abroad as a third-culture kid to establishing a former career in the media industry, her past experiences have allowed her to build connections with people from all walks of life. As a therapist, she draws upon her lived experiences to inform her work with each client—whether you’re a creative or a corporate executive, she believes your needs are your own and your path is specific to you.

With empathy as one of her strongest attributes, Brithny strives to create a safe and supportive environment that honors the diversity of identities and encourages authentic communication. She approaches therapy through a trauma-informed lens, integrating elements of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and humanistic modalities to create individually-tailored plans of action. She utilizes minority stress theory and attachment theory, amongst others, in employing theoretical orientation. Her therapy style is empowering, exploratory, direct, challenging, and centered on insight-driven direction—a motivating counselor and a gentle listener. Brithny considers her work with people in creating lasting change and sustained growth to be the greatest privilege in her lifetime.

Brithny self-identifies as a cisgender, bisexual, Asian woman.
