“Change takes more than comfort. It takes courage, accountability, and the right support to believe in your potential, challenge your limits, and take action toward lasting growth.”

I’m Marshal Li, a second-generation immigrant and a dedicated mental health counselor passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change. 

I believe therapy works best when both the therapist and client can show up as their authentic selves. Therapy is about more than comfort. It’s about courage. I see the real work of therapy as confronting the things we often avoid and challenging ourselves to grow beyond what feels familiar.

Outside the therapy room, I’ve spent years dedicated to bodybuilding — a passion that has deeply shaped the way I approach life and healing. Bodybuilding taught me that growth doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built through consistency, patience, and a willingness to push through discomfort. Progress in the gym, like in therapy, comes from showing up — even on the days it feels hard — and trusting that small steps lead to transformation.

That same mindset guides my work as a therapist. My approach is direct, person-centered, and grounded in both compassion and challenge. When we work together, I want you to feel truly seen and supported, but also encouraged to stretch beyond what’s holding you back. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, self-doubt, identity, or emotional regulation, my goal is to help you break free from self-defeating patterns, strengthen your resilience, and build a life that reflects your values and purpose.
