A Note from Wenjing:

Hi! I am Wenjing, pronounced as “When Gin?” It is lovely to meet you here!

I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Southern California (USC). Born and raised in China, I immigrated to the United States with my partner and became a proud resident of Hillcrest, San Diego. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in marketing at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a master’s in art history at the University of Glasgow. Prior to my career transition to counseling, I worked in consumer product marketing in several multinational corporations for about a decade.

Growing up, I longed for diversity and adventure. Before moving to the U.S., I studied and worked in China, the U.K., and Denmark. My exposure to different cultures prompted me to be curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I learned to critically examine how societal factors shape individual experiences. My previous profession in marketing involved extensive consumer research with people from all social locations. I found those in-depth interviews, focus groups, and in-home visits fascinating, where besides asking product-related questions, we also always started every interview by asking about their life purpose, sources of happiness, hopes, and dreams. I gradually realized that I would prefer these conversations not to be aimed at bringing bestselling product concepts, but at improving the mental health of these beautiful individuals.

Therapy, for me, is a journey of rediscovery of the self. I am inspired by the creative part of the Narrative approach that transforms a problem-saturated story into a more enriched, balanced, and appreciative life. Together we will explore the hidden strength, wisdom, peace and warmth in you. It would be my honor to be there for you when you are reintroduced to yourself and realize the forgotten gems in your own history.

I am bilingual and bicultural, which I am passionate to offer therapy in Mandarin. If you wish to do therapy in Cantonese, I can also understand fully. My immigration journey has also made me feel even more connected to my cultural heritage as well as my different identities. I am eager to serve the AAPI community and those with diverse gender, sexuality, and relationship identities; and advocate for social justice in these areas.

Thank you for reading! I look forward to being the co-creator of your healing story!

大家好，我叫文婧。很高兴在这里遇见你！

我目前正在南加州大学（USC）攻读婚姻与家庭治疗理学硕士学位。我在中国出生和长大，后来和我的伴侣移民到美国，成为圣地亚哥Hillcrest的一名骄傲居民。我在香港中文大学获得市场营销学士学位，并在格拉斯哥大学获得艺术史硕士学位。在转行从事心理咨询工作之前，我曾在几家跨国公司从事消费品营销工作长达十年。

出生在80年代的中国，我非常向往多元的生活体验。在移居美国之前，我曾在中国、英国和丹麦学习和工作。接触这些截然不同的文化使我变得好奇、开放。让我学会放下对个体的成见，并且批判地思考社会环境对个人的影响。我之前从事的市场营销工作涉及对来自各个社会阶层的人进行广泛的消费者研究。我发现那些深度访谈、焦点小组和家访非常吸引人，除了询问与产品相关的问题，我们在每次访谈开始时总是会询问他们的人生目标、幸福来源、希望和梦想。我逐渐意识到，我更希望这些对话不是为了给企业带来畅销的产品概念，而是能够改善每个鲜活个体的心理健康。

对我来说，心理治疗是一次重新发现自我的旅程。叙事疗法的创造性尤其让我着迷，它引领我们逐步将充满问题的故事转化为更加丰富、平衡和感恩的生活。通过倾听你的故事，我们将一同探索其中的力量、智慧、平和和温暖。作为一名心理从业者，能够陪伴和帮助你重新发掘自己生命历程中隐藏的宝藏，将是我莫大的荣幸。

除了提供英文咨询治疗服务外，我也能够为你提供中文普通话的治疗服务。如果你想用粤语进行治疗，我也可以完全听懂, 并且会尽力回复。近年来的移民经历，让我更加珍惜和认同自己的中国文化背景，也更开放地拥抱自己不同的社会身份。我热切地期待为亚太裔社区、以及具有不同性别、性取向和关系认同形式的人群服务，并在这些领域倡导社会正义。

再次感谢你阅读我的介绍！我期待与你一起书写你的治愈成长故事！
