Tzu-Ping Cheng

Tzu-Ping Cheng (pronounced close to Su-Ping) is from Taiwan and has been licensed in Illinois as a clinical professional counselor (IL LCPC 180.011433) for 12 years.

Her curiosity about different cultures and people’s lives began in childhood and continued after she moved to the United States in 2008. Since then she has navigated many relocations and life transitions, gaining direct experience with the disruptions that accompany change.

Those changes have offered her an understanding of how interruptions to familiar routines, shifts in identity, feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and doubt can be part of adjustment. At the same time, she sees how challenging periods often create room for growth toward a preferred self.

She frames therapy as a journey into new territory where meaningful development and exploration of how one wants to be in the world can occur. Her approach is narrative and collaborative, grounded in a commitment to equity and respect for diversity. She emphasizes the multi-faceted nature of each person and supports the view that labels do not define a person’s possibilities.

Conversations with Tzu-Ping are intended to help people move toward the directions they prefer in their life. She looks forward to working with you.
