Client Reviews of Counseling and Coaching at Seattle Direct Counseling

In only a small amount of time dialoguing with Imei, an aesthetic exchange occurred that inspired and activated dormant energy within me. I came to her because of professional haze, uncertain of which direction to pursue. She offered a beautiful blend of enriching and compassionate advice that I am still enlivened by. Very rare do you find someone with as many unique areas of expertise as she, and to anyone, I would propose her services. – Leondria Moore, RN, HN

Recently, I had a single incident trauma that was so severe I literally did not know how to make from moment to moment afterwards. I received counseling, guidance and empathetic listening from Imei Hsu soon after my trauma. Without this, I most certainly would have been hospitalized or worse. She gave me the courage to seek further help, and the tools necessary to calm myself down enough to eat and sleep, allowing me to make it to the next day. From one conversation with her, I got in contact with what I needed to not only survive but begin the healing process. [CG in Seattle]

Imei,

I want to take a quick moment to write you and sincerely thank you for all of your support, wisdom, and guidance over the past year and a half. I also want to apologize for falling off your radar. Life has been tremendously busy and as always it’s a bit of a challenge to manage life, work, and the demands of being a present and active parent. You’ll be happy to know that [the client and family] are all doing quite well… this is in large part due to your patient influence, thank you.  - K

“I have contacted Imei on a few occasions for coaching but I recently contacted her to talk about a delicate situation regarding my business. Imei wanted me to give her a detailed breakdown of events so she clearly understood what I was seeking her out for.  Imei has a gift in her ability to listen as a neutral party and dissect situations so that I am able to hear what I want.  She guided me into an intellectual solution, as well as gave me tools in how to improve my situation while keeping my integrity, professionalism and maintaining respect for all parties involved. She is incomparable in keeping me on target with my goals, both personally and professionally.  Her candidness with me shows great honesty and integrity in her career, as well as her caring for my best interest and confidentiality…she made me feel safe!  I know with Imei that I will always get honesty whether I am right or wrong, which takes confidence in her and her expertise. Who wouldn’t want Imei as a coach?  I am blessed to have her in my court!” [RU – Fabulous in Seattle]
