"Us" is symbolic of...

the idea we're all in this together. [The number] "2" is symbolic of historically marginalized communities that are seen as second to others.

We don't just look at treatment and diagnosis, we look at how we can treat patients by understanding that cultural background is a strong component in how communities approach mental health and stigmas around it. We break financial barriers and provide access to anybody who walks through our doors, provide culture specific mental health counseling, understand our client's background, struggles, challenges, acknowledge and address social causes or racialized trauma and how it shows up in behavioral health.

Her professional experiences in various sectors, include public, private, government, and nonprofit institutions. One of the most significant aspects of Sheng's work is her dedication to integrating social justice and cultural humility into behavioral health. This approach is crucial in ensuring that mental health services are accessible and sensitive to the diverse needs of the community, especially in her role as President and Executive Director of Us 2 Behavioral Health Care.

The opening of Us 2 Behavioral Health Care in 2019 reflects Sheng's vision of creating a space where everyone can work towards better mental health together.
