从我最早的记忆开始,深深的同理心就是我与世界连接的桥梁。这份能力不仅让我为周围的人提供支持和安慰,也让我能够感同身受地理解那些遥远的故事和经历。正是这种同理心,六年前引导我来到纽约市,开始了我在社会工作和治疗领域的旅程。我被这个领域深深吸引,因为它不仅与我的职业抱负相契合,更与我个人生活中所珍视的核心价值观相呼应。 在与我相遇的会话中,你会发现一个充满真实连接和相互理解的空间。我秉持人本主义精神,以开放和无评判的心态倾听,尊重你的独特经历,一起携手走向自我接纳的旅程。无论是与遭受创伤的儿童及其家庭一起工作,还是带领中国移民母亲育儿压力管理小组,我的经历都教会了我如何以同理心和专业技巧进行有效的沟通。这些角色不仅锻炼了我与不同背景人群建立联系的能力,也深化了我对创伤、压力与恢复力之间复杂关系的理解。 我对人心的韧性充满敬畏,坚信每个人内在都拥有克服生活挑战的力量。我喜欢探索社会和文化环境如何塑造我们的心理健康和幸福感,这种好奇心不仅限于个体。这样的视角让我在支持移民、大学生和经历过虐待的人时能提供更加丰富的帮助。我精通普通话和英语,为那些在两种文化之间徘徊的人提供了一处温馨的避风港。 我诚挚地邀请所有的留学生、移民、创伤受害者,以及需要支持的家长们,加入和我一同心理疗愈的历程。在这个旅程中,我们不仅会共同探索和治疗个人的创伤和挑战,还会学习如何在充满挑战的世界中找到内心的平静和力量,找到通往更加健康和幸福生活的道路。

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
