Zhongjie (Ben) Bao

Hi! I am Zhongjie, you can also call me Ben. As a first-gen immigrant from China with
lived experience as an international student at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels, my ultimate goal is to sit with you, human to human, and better understand what
brings you to therapy so that we can work towards your goals together. I want to focus
on building a genuine, trusting relationship with you, so we can create a space where
you can explore anything that matters to you.
In our sessions, you can expect me to try my best to relate to your experience and
never pretend that I hold the answers to your life. You can expect another authentic
person to process with you and explore our shadows in a safe environment. You can
expect that we don’t have to perform, impress, or prove ourselves to each other to be
accepted and connected.
In my personal life, I am a bit of a nerd. I like video games, card games, computer parts,
cooking and many more things that keep my mind engaged 🙂
