Sibo Zhao, MAEd, LPCA, NCC

Mental Health Therapist

Sibo is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and National Certified Counselor. She is a dedicated therapist serving individuals in our Outpatient and Therapeutic Rehabilitation (TR) programs. She holds a Master degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Kentucky University and is currently a doctoral student pursuing her Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision at Lindsey Wilson University. Her academic foundation also includes a Master of Arts in Chinese International Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.

With over 14 years of experience in international education and teaching, she brings a uniquely rich, culturally responsive perspective to therapy. Having worked with individuals across the lifespan and diverse cultural backgrounds, Sibo establishes a collaborative, strengths-based, and compassionate space where every client feels genuinely seen and heard.

Sibo walks alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity development, major life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and severe mental illness. Sibo honors the whole person, recognizing how deeply our minds, bodies, emotions, and socio-spiritural wellbeing intersect. Her insight-oriented, eclectic approach seamlessly integrates evidence-based modalities, including Adlerian Psychology, CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, existential therapy, and mindfulness. She believes counseling is far more than reducing symptoms; it is an opportunity to discover meaning, cultivate resilience, and build a life that truly aligns with your deepest values.

“Healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Real transformation doesn’t occur because someone tells us who we should be; it happens when we discover the courage to become who we already are. My hope is to help you reconnect with the inner strengths, creative potential, meaning, and resilience that have been there all along. In my journey, I hold onto a lifelong favorite reminder from the film Homeless to Harvard: hope is a hard habit to break.”
