Spirituality Therapists in 10011

I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals establish a clear vision for their lives that incorporates both personal desires and professional goals. Different points in life present different challenges. Are you relatively new to the workforce and trying to figure out your career path? Do you feel stuck in a job or profession that you've outgrown? Has a life change (marriage, parenthood, eldercare) altered your priorities? Perhaps you're contemplating a life makeover but don't know how to proceed. These are areas where I can help.

Do you find yourself playing out the same self sabotaging patterns and feel frustrated to break them? Do you have trouble in your relationships, wanting connection yet feeling lonely? Do you resort to alcohol or drugs and it's becoming a problem? Does it feel like parts of you are in conflict and out of your control? If you could figure it out logically you would have already. These patterns may feel mysterious to you but what if these parts of yourself have good intentions and are just stuck trying to help. In therapy we can break these painful patterns by healing the underlying issues and giving you freedom and peace inside.

Sometimes, we need help and support to make a change in ourselves and our lives to feel positively different. Because of that, I offer a unique, individualized type of counseling tailored to what you want and need most. I work with young adults and adults managing life transitions, trauma, stress/anxiety, and dissatisfaction with areas of their lives. I enjoy working with motivated individuals who look to improve their lives, career paths, families, personalities, relationships, and sex life. No matter how big or small the issue, we'll face it together. Ready to be the Best Version of Yourself and have the life you want? Call me.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist experienced in dealing with a range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and identity concerns. I am comfortable working with adults from all backgrounds, and I specialize working with artists and professionals at various stages in life. I take an integrative approach to therapy, providing coping strategies and empowering the individual to change the negative patterns impacting their life. For some, this means short-term work focused on specific goals and symptoms. For others, this means a deeper exploration of the self with the goal of achieving physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual freedom.

It is my strong belief that the systems we navigate directly impact our mental health and well-being, and that through recognition and critical consciousness of these influences, we can radically free ourselves. My therapeutic approach borrows from Freirean thought, acknowledging that individuals are masters of their own experiences and that collaboratively we will liberate each other. I believe growing up multiracial (Chinese; White) and queer positioned me well to see how uniquely multifaceted each person is. In my therapy, we will nurture a nonjudgmental and explorative space centering your growth.

There's nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, though I honor if you feel this way. I am passionate about guiding clients to restore their sense of wholeness by releasing the painful emotions/beliefs (some which are subconscious) that are contributing to issues such as anxiety/phobias, depression, harmful and limiting patterns/behaviors, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, feeling stuck/lost, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic pain/illness, etc etc.

Sometimes life's challenges can cause us to feel overwhelmed, stuck, and unfulfilled in different areas of our lives. I work closely with you to create a supportive therapeutic space where we can safely explore your thoughts and feelings, overcome obstacles, and build a path towards a more fulfilling life for you.

Whether you are transitioning into a new identity or grappling with an old emotional injury, I offer compassion when you need it most. As a psychotherapist who focuses on how our past experiences inform our present-day perspective, I accompany you while tackling challenges related to trauma, transitions, relationships, and/or everyday life. Utilizing skills from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) , Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Reprocessing allows me to be flexible and sensitive to the individual patient's needs as we set a course for treatment.

These include depression, anxiety, phobias, panic, anger, stress, insomnia, ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and work/home/school issues.

The therapeutic alliance is the foundation that centers and grounds an individual journey towards awareness and growth. I believe in creating an alliance based on unconditional positive regard and collaboration with my client. Together, through intentional exploration we can access the intuitive wisdom, strength and resilience necessary to achieve emotional prosperity.

Often, people have come to the point where whatever they are doing is not working anymore. It may not have worked for some time. Finding the right therapist and the right fit is of extreme importance. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor. In our work together I will provide a safe place where you feel supported, while at the same time creating a safe place so that you can challenge yourself. We will work closely together in looking at and learning from your successes, as well as exploring stuck points that are impeding you in gaining a fuller life.

I do insight oriented psychotherapy with clients interested in focusing on current issues and how they are effected by earlier life experiences, present conflicts and future possibilities. The issues I am best suited to address are depression, trauma, child abuse,aging, chronic illness, gay and lesbian/sexual orientation/ coming out

Challenging the roles society has placed on us can be really difficult, but when we break through these barriers to create our own identities, life can feel so meaningful. My passion is working with individuals and couples, especially people of colour, men, and the LGBTQ community, to re-define themselves into who they truly want to be. By helping individuals be their truest selves in relationships, I also help couples create a more balanced partnership.

We all need outlets to relieve stress—to talk, vent, and/or figure things out. Everyone can benefit from the relief that a supportive therapy experience can provide; and it’s my goal to offer that to everyone I work with. You may be experiencing a life transition that you’re unsure of how to navigate or chronic worry about the future or strained relationships with people in your life. Whatever your concern, therapy can help. Therapy has the potential to be a part of your toolkit for support and reprieve. In our sessions we’ll explore the development of your concerns and create strategies for how to navigate them.

I have the honor of accompanying fellow LGBTQIA+ individuals of color, especially those moving through life transitions, first-generation undergraduate & graduate students, academics, artists, writers, and those holding intersectional identities rooted in multicultural and interracial families, partnerships, and transcultural and/or adult adoption. In addition, I work with couples as well as poly individuals and ethically/consensually non-monogamous partnerships.

Imagine going through life being able to – emotionally, relationally, physically, truly – trust your gut. Therapy is an opportunity to learn how to do just that. My clients come from all walks of life, but they usually begin therapy with some version of the same core feeling: it’s all just too much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in daily life, navigating complicated relationships, wanting to heal your relationship with food or your body, or (re)discovering who you are – you're here because you need some support and you're daring to imagine that you deserve it. And you do!

Currently NOT accepting new clients. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, after-effects of childhood abuse, relationship difficulties or overall emotional pain, then therapy may be potentially beneficial. I am a Licensed Psychologist with nearly 2 decades of experience providing therapy to individuals of varied backgrounds and ages, in various settings (private practice, colleges, hospitals, clinics). I use a strength-based approach - simply put, I assume that you have many strengths, either known or waiting-to-be-discovered. I also incorporate existential perspectives in my work, if relevant.

I am happy you are here! My ideal client is someone with a curiosity about themselves and a deep desire for self-discovery. If you find yourself constantly pondering your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, wondering why you react a certain way in certain situations, you're exactly the kind of person I'm here to support. Together, we will explore YOU, and work to uncover the hidden patterns, beliefs, and motivations that shape your life. In our work together, you'll discover that your voice matters, your experiences are valid, and your potential for growth is limitless.
