Therapists in Kings Point, NY

Over the years my team and I have helped individuals and couples through many life stages find meaning and direction. By providing feedback and reflections with kindness, sensitivity and humor, we built good psychotherapeutic relationships with respect and trust. You too can find safety and comfort during our time together in order to maximize your growth, and work toward feelings of well-being and satisfaction. Since no one person is the same, there is no one way to do psychotherapy. Your individuality will always be respected as we are sensitive to your culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and family background.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.

Hi! I'm Dr. Winnie Ma (she/her/hers), a licensed psychologist in New York who is passionate about supporting immigrant and racial/ethnic minority youth and adults facing a range of issues – relationships, family, career, or identity. My own experience as an immigrant from Taiwan navigating interpersonal and systemic challenges taught me the importance of resilience, seeking support, and embracing diverse perspectives.

As an immigrant from China who once navigated the challenging waters of being an international student, my journey has been deeply informed by empathy, compassion, and a relentless curiosity about healing and resilience. My experiences have taught me the nuances of adapting to new environments, the pressures of academic life, and the journey towards healing from personal traumas. Fluent in Mandarin and English, I bring a unique perspective that combines personal insight with professional expertise in trauma care. I understand the complexities of adjusting as an immigrant and the struggles that come with it.

Life has no shortage of stressors; therapy is an opportunity to process challenges which can lead to self-discovery and growth. Whether it’s anxiety, relationship problems, diminished self-worth, mood difficulties, school-related obstacles, parenting issues, life transitions or the like, I am committed to utilizing a personalized approach, tailoring my work and interventions to focus on each individual client – with their particular struggles and strengths. As such, I help clients become better equipped to effect change – large or small - leading to better relationships, more fulfillment and improved feelings of self-worth.

My most important goal working with clients is to build a trusting and safe partnership. I hope to provide an inviting, empathic, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore the depth of your inner truth and to help you actualize the life you envision for yourself. Together, we will explore past experiences, including family dynamics and your early life, in addition to thoughts, feelings, and current patterns of behavior to provide insight into how you can better cope with issues impacting you now. Often, we are more resilient than we believe we are - I'm here to help you harness that strength and find hope again.

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

Do you struggle to set healthy boundaries and prioritize yourself? Do your relationships leave you feeling unfulfilled and depleted? If so, I am here to let you know that you are worthy and deserving of a life that brings you meaning and fulfillment. I have many years of experience helping people reach their goals by releasing behaviors and patterns that are no longer serving them or that are impeding their ability to move forward. Together, we will quiet your inner critic by focusing on your values, strengths, and sense of self-worth. Taking the first step is often the most challenging part, but it can also be the most rewarding.

In times of distress and uncertainty, we value guidance leading to a better reflection of who we are and where we want to be. Sometimes the goals are not clear, but comes with a feeling that there is something missing or out of order. Psychotherapy can be enlightening from those dealing with everyday matters such as home life, work and friendships or issues surrounding anxiety, coping with important life changes. In adverse situations, it may come with overwhelming obstacles and the feeling of being misunderstood by others. These circumstances require my analytical approach and empathy to let clients feel more at ease and accepted.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are.

All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.

My training has covered the lifespan-from infants to elderly adults in multiple settings treating a wide range of mental health and behavioral difficulties that interfere with daily living.

For over 20 years I have helped clients work through aspects of their lives they find most challenging. Understanding how these difficulties affect ongoing non-productive communication, help to restore positive relational patterns and everyday interactions. Intense verbal or non-verbal chronic behavior may leave partners feeling angry, hurt or confused. Learning to observe and repair complex perceptions, helps to soften negative and reactive behaviors. Gestures, tones and shouting are all forms of communication. Each may create tension, anger or even total withdrawal. The ability to process conflicting needs allows for acceptance.

My focus is on introspection & interpersonal relationships. I integrate a traditional and holistic approach in a safe and peaceful setting. I tailor to your personal needs and wants by removing the masks and uncovering your personal truth/individualized self. My practice incorporates skill building to help you understand why you make the choices you make and to live your life through self-acceptance, self-love, and confidence
