Bio
Chun-Chung Choi
Winnie is a very gentle and caring therapist who values bringing empathy and warmth to her work. Her strength lies in the area of cultural sensitivity, compassion and empathy toward clients, case conceptualization skills, and openness in receiving feedback. In addition, she is very sharp and skillful addressing conflicted concerns in therapy. Her understanding of the family system approach and her sensitivity to oppression was instrumental in helping clients gaining clarity into their core concerns. I was very impressed with her conceptualization skills and her ability to grasp sophisticated issues with the clients within short period of time. She is a joy to work with.
