Are you struggling to navigate societal, cultural, and familial expectations? I’m Marshal Li, a second-generation immigrant and a passionate mental health counselor. I’m here to support you through the challenges you face, whether they involve personal growth, relationship struggles, cultural demands, or life transitions. I hold a Master’s Degree in the Science of Counseling from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and am currently an LPC-A (Licensed Professional Counselor Associate) under the supervision of Roger Giovino, Psy.D., and Amy Doar, LPC-S. In addition to my professional qualifications, I am fluent in Mandarin, allowing me to offer counseling services to Mandarin-speaking clients and bridge cultural gaps in therapy.

Throughout my training, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues, from boundary-setting difficulties to domestic violence and substance abuse. My professional background includes clinical work in PHP/IOP hospital settings as well as providing sessions in a grant-funded counseling organization. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, and I want to help you find a way forward.

In our work together, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be your authentic self. Many individuals have a sense of what they need to move forward but struggle with how to implement those changes or where to begin. Finding the right person to help you achieve those goals can be just as challenging. I believe that everyone has the ability to create an ideal life, especially when supported by someone who seeks to understand their unique struggles. Counseling, to me, is a collaborative process where your autonomy is not only respected but actively encouraged. I utilize a variety of counseling techniques, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Strategic Family and Couples Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and I operate from a Humanistic viewpoint to meet a client’s unique needs. My goal is to help you achieve your goals through a healthy, holistic, and effective approach, supporting you every step of the way on your journey toward positive change.

With a background in pursuing professional tennis and competitive bodybuilding, I possess a unique understanding of the mental and physical demands that come with attaining high-level goals. I am familiar with the dedication, sacrifices, and challenges involved in striving toward ambitious objectives that require unwavering focus, discipline, and resilience. These personal experiences have profoundly shaped my approach as a therapist, allowing me to offer a combination of empathy, insight, and practical strategies to help clients navigate their own journeys toward success. Whether it’s overcoming personal barriers, achieving professional aspirations, or improving overall well-being, I am committed to helping you find your path to success with the same dedication and focus.
