Fei Li, LISW-S 

I am a bilingual mental health counselor originally from China, and I’ve spent the past decade working in community mental health settings. For the last nine years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting immigrant and refugee communities, and in many cases offering counseling in Mandarin Chinese. My clinical interest centers on how trauma and grief shape us throughout our lives. Some forms of trauma and grief are clear and recognizable, while others are subtle, ambiguous, and easy to overlook.

My own journey has taught me a great deal about these quieter forms of loss. Pursuing graduate school in social work in the U.S. was an extraordinary opportunity, yet within that excitement lived an unexpected grief—the loss of familiar environments, language, and the cultural nuances that once held me. Becoming a mother has been a profound blessing, and at the same time, it brought its own quiet losses: changes in my body, shifts in identity, and the  realization that life would never return to what it once was. These experiences shape the way I sit with others as they navigate their own transitions, losses, and transformations.

In our work together, we will gently explore your unique experiences through a trauma‑informed and strengths‑focused lens. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you become more attuned to your body and mind—how they have protected you, how they continue to shape your life, and how you might begin to relate to them with more compassion and clarity.

I offer a grounded, steady presence for those navigating complex emotions, identity shifts, grief, and the quiet sense of feeling disconnected from oneself. My intention is to meet you exactly where you are, while supporting you in finding resilience, clarity, and a path that feels truly your own—like discovering the exit of a maze you’ve been walking for years.
