Hello there. Welcome to my little part of the website. I’m so happy you’re here. I’m Xuan (English pronunciation Sue Anne). In life, there are times, places and spaces where we may feel unheard, unseen, and overlooked. Unfortunately those feelings are multiplied when marginalized identities such as race, gender identity, and ability status come into play. As a first generation disabled Asian American, I bring all of my identities to the table without shame and encourage others to as well. When we bring our whole authentic selves to the table, we are giving permission for others to do the same.

You learned that to get through life, you must be perfect, “proper,” and stay invisible. But operating down this path comes at a cost: overwhelming pressure, self-hatred, and feeling like an imposter in your skin. Belonging has never been easy for me, especially as a child of Asian immigrant parents. The pressure to be "enough" for others or to offset the guilt I felt for all the sacrifices my parents made to succeed in the United States has contributed to my resilience and anxious attempts to hide my imperfections. So, this is an invitation to those who want permission to mess up, be imperfect, and recover from unmet needs.

My therapeutic approach encourages personal growth and provides opportunities for clients to learn information and skills to help them find a more balanced, meaningful life. I believe that the clients are the true experts in their lives, so I work with my client to establish a treatment plan that is specific to their identified needs and goals. I believe there is no “one size fits all” form of therapy. I pull from a variety of modalities so that I can tailor treatment to your specific needs. As a first-generation Asian American, I understand and have experienced mental health stigma.

Life feeling an emotional rollercoaster? Hard not to people please and put others first while feeling miserable inside. You don't have to figure it out alone or feel stuck, I can help. I am licensed to provide both mental health and addiction counseling in NC, with 20yrs experience. My specialties: trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, family stress, LGBTQA+, grief/loss, inter-generational cultural issues, and premarital counseling. My lived experience as a first generation South Asian immigrant, a working parent, who has faced transitions to seek meaningful growth, shapes my authentic counseling style.

Life is full of challenges, and whether that looks like losing your job, having frequent problems with your partner, struggling with uncomfortable feelings, dealing with a traumatic experience, or feeling stuck between a rock and hard place, you are not alone. When there are challenges in your life, it can be hard to actually live your life. It can be hard make healthy decisions to move forward in reaching your goals. You know that you need some sort of change in your life, but you just don’t know how to get there yet. You want clarity, peace, and growth to move forward. You want to be your best self, and live your best life.

I am passionate about working with individuals to strengthen their mental health and achieve the version of themselves that they strive to be. I approach counseling from a person-centered view, believing everyone has the power to make changes toward their own healing and growth as well as the ability to discover this for themselves. I believe it is important for a therapist to be empathetic and genuine with their clients while displaying unconditional positive regard.

We all have different seasons in our lives where we may feel a pull or a need for change and growth. My hope is to help those on their individual journeys find a place that feels good for them and their families. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, heard and validated and thus I provide that in my therapy room, and help other family members develop that for one another.

Maybe your emotions sweep you off your feet, but not always in a good way. You use substances, food, or other habits to try and escape these feelings, but ultimately the underlying causes go unaddressed. There’s nothing wrong with having big emotions, but what would life look like if you learned how to ride these waves instead of feeling like you’re drowning? Although change can feel impossible, I’m here to suggest it is not. I want to walk beside you as you discover and embrace your authentic self, and channel your strengths to cultivate resilience as you work through the tough stuff.

Welcome. I am glad you are here. As a person who was raised by POW survivors and refugees, I know intimately how trauma can be woven into the fabric of one’s history. I know first hand the hardship of coming face to face with the questions of “how do we live on in the wake of loss and/or betrayal?” and more importantly, “how can we begin to laugh again?”. The fact that you have found yourself here on this page tells me that you have already taken that first step beyond survival and towards deeper living.

I am a compassionate empathic counselor here to assist you and your family to move forward in a positive balanced goal oriented manner. I work with you to develop a plan to reduce your stress, anxiety, depression and other issues getting in your way to having a productive joyful life. Contact Ziemba Counseling and Consulting to reduce those crippling symptoms. We are here for you and your family.

It is natural for us to encounter bumps in the road every now and then. But sometimes, those bumps feel like mountains and it can feel like we’re stuck. I am here to walk with you and help you move forward in times like these. I believe deeply in the power of human connection in the path to healing and self-compassion. I understand the vulnerability that it can take to seek therapy. My goal in our work together is to create a safe space where you can bring your whole, authentic self. My work as a therapist is grounded in a client-centered approach, meaning that your goals will guide our work together.

We believe in the client being the expert on what they need and the power of the therapeutic relationship. We believe in partnering with the client to foster healing, introspection, and growth. We are enthusiastically committed to helping people holistically—integrating mind, body, and spirit. We will work together to develop your short and long-term goals and to continue this collaboration throughout our work together. We utilize an eclectic approach to meet the therapeutic needs of each client. We serve adolescents (15-17), adults (18+), couples, and families. We bring an array of experience to ensure your needs are met.

Therapy can help you understand how past experiences impact your daily life and relationships. By recognizing these patterns, we can begin cultivating lasting change in our interactions and relationships. Most of my clients want to improve their relationships, their sex life, or explore their identities or transitions. I specialize in sex and relationship therapy, enhancing intimacy and desire, improving differences in desire, and working through pain or dysfunction, particularly within the queer community. I also offer psychological evaluations to clarify diagnoses and collaborate on treatment recommendations.

Are you feeling stuck? Therapy can be an invaluable tool to help us feel unstuck, find meaning, function optimally, and feel more connected to ourselves and others. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds that might be finding that their emotions, behavior patterns, or relationships, both past and present, are getting in the way of moving forward, making decisions, or working towards goals. My clients are often looking for support to gain insight and acceptance in order to motivate change.

Clients I often see grapple with anxiety or depression, seeking coping strategies. Their needs include a safe space for self-expression, validation, and practical tools to improve emotional well-being. Goals involve fostering resilience, improving interpersonal relationships, and cultivating a positive mindset. Motivated by a desire for personal growth, they value introspection and aspire to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, fostering lasting positive change.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, grief/loss, mood disorders, relational issues, substance abuse and trauma. I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist. I also utilize mindfulness and self-compassion to support others on their journey of healing so they can live a "good life". I’m passionate about supporting all people on their journey. Whether you are on a path of healing or a path of self-actualization, psychotherapy can be an opportunity to grow beyond your current experience. It’s an opportunity to better understand yourself, your relationships and to deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
