Hi my name is Champ Moultrie, and yes Champ is my real name. Even though I have not always felt like a “Champ,” I believe we all are looking for the “CHAMP” that resides deep on the inside of us. My service to you is transforming you or your marriage into the best version of itself. I typically do this through focusing on changing what creates the disconnection between you and the one you love. If you are ready to be the best of yourself, reach out let's work together! Can't wait to see you!

I am Alice (XiaoRan), Zhao, I provide a safe space for you with a dose of honesty and sometimes humor. Being an Asian woman, I provide a different perspective on your counseling journey. I love to begin your self-discovery and healing process.

I have a Masters in Social Work and have been a licensed clinical social worker since 1987. I have worked in hospital emergency rooms, public health agencies, in-home community services and private mental health agencies. I believe in the value of people and the resiliency of the human spirit. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, which include but is not limited to, seniors, adults, families, trauma survivors, military personnel and first responders. I very much enjoy what I do. I have a sense of humor while wrapped in kindness and integrity. I do what I say that I will do in all areas of my life.

Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged in our work. You won’t be met with quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, I offer a grounded, relational space where we can slow down, get curious, and make sense of the patterns—emotional, relational, historical—that are shaping your current struggles. I’m especially attuned to the inner lives of high-achieving adults: those who appear competent on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen underneath.

I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR, and I approach each client with a blend of clinical precision and emotional presence. You can expect warmth, honesty, and an active collaboration toward lasting emotional change.
