Meet Lin-Ann Ching
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I am overjoyed you have come to learn more about the middle path.
I bring a diligent, curious and compassionate approach to therapy, rooted in evidenced-based treatments. My therapeutic style balances validation of your present experiences with moving towards change to reach your individual goals. I will guide you to approach growth that is informed by the wise-minded values that define your life worth living. I will guide and walk beside you on your middle path, and help you find your new truth.
Your Joy is your sorrow unmasked...
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
