About Shing
Shing Chin (Alice) Ginkens is a licensed counselor with two decades of experience who helps people facing low self esteem and a range of life challenges. She works with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, trauma, parenting strain, and major life changes. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
Alice approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her, using conversational work to identify what matters most and practical steps to build on strengths. Her style is warm and down-to-earth rather than overly clinical.
Her background includes long-term clinical work since 2002 and licensure in Oklahoma as an LPC plus licensure as an LPCC, with professional practice now based in California. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, addictions, anger, and intimacy-related struggles.
In sessions she may draw on several familiar methods, choosing tools that match a person's needs and goals. The focus is on small, achievable changes - clearer communication, healthier coping habits, and ways to rebuild confidence after setbacks.
People who come to Alice often want help making sense of family patterns, repairing relationships, or feeling less stuck. She encourages honest conversation and gradual progress so people can move toward a more satisfying daily life.
