Cantonese Therapists in Nesconset, NY

I believe everyone deserves to be heard. But not everyone is given the opportunity or the space to do so. As a therapist, I want to provide a safe space for you to be... well, you.

Hi, I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York State. People come to me for all kinds of emotional and relational challenges. I found myself work particularly well with those who have relational trauma in their family of origin, those who struggle to find themselves or trust themselves, those who experience perpetual unhappiness or loneliness despite their achievement, as well as those who genuinely seek to understand themselves deeply. I have a passion serving immigrants, expatriates, international students, the LGBTQ+ community and the marginalized, and I have worked closely with these populations over the years.

Your life is meant to be exciting and fulfilling. At Clarity Therapy, our passion and purpose is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and their true purpose. We nurture people as they re-learn how to access their innate strengths and improve their experience of emotional wellness.

I understand you might feel stuck in the past or the same negative loop and haven’t found any meaningful progress by talking to yourself, your family, or friends.

I use an integrative and tailored approach to meet your needs and cultural values. Combining systemic and relational framework, and mindfulness practice, I’ll help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and align them to achieve what you most value in life.

Whatever challenges that you are facing right now, you deserved to be understood with kindness and acceptance. Psychotherapy is a safe place for you to listen and explore yourself. While it can be hard to take the first step, I am here to assist you in finding paths on your journey of discovery.

I am a NY licensed social worker, who completed my education in Boston. I speak both English and Cantonese. As someone who grew up in a NYC traditional immigrant family, hard work was emphasized and taught. These experiences helped me develop a unique bicultural perspective and approach to help people from multiple cultures, different upbringings, or beliefs. I believe it is very important to have a person to talk to and seek guidance from who understands one’s culture and speaks one's language for our everyday conflicts, struggles, or stresses within work, family, education, and community.

I am a seasoned bilingual clinician, clinical supervisor, and graduate instructor. My experience in early childhood centers, family counseling programs, hospitals, and hospice covered the developmental spectrum of all ages. My therapeutic approach is humanistic and relational. I received my master's degree from Columbia University School of Social Work in 1999. I speak Cantonese and Mandarin fluently.

I passionately enjoy working with diverse people “from all walks of life”— professionals, essential workers, parents, students, immigrants, artists, LGBTQA+ community members, caregivers, and allies to people experiencing medical or mental health issues. In therapy, we can appreciate your emotions, problem solve and cope with daily issues, change “undesirable” behaviors, cultivate physical and mental wellness, pursue life/work goals and satisfaction, and practice effective communication skills for interpersonal relationships.

Hi, I’m Jiexuan, a licensed mental health counselor in New York and New Jersey. I’m glad you’re here. I grew up in China and graduated from Columbia University with a degree in counseling. As an Asian cis-woman, first-generation immigrant, and ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, I deeply understand the challenge of managing minority stress and navigating systematic inequality. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgemental, and compassionate therapy space by bringing my authentic self to the work. I speak Mandarin, English, and Cantonese and have experience providing therapy in all three languages.

You have appeared ok, but deep inside stressed for quite a while. You have thought about therapy, but either mental health is too much a topic to face, or you find it too hard to find a therapist who can really understand your culture and speak your language. So you decided to suffer silently. You searched Dr. Google many times too, and worried that your situation could get much worse if you don't find the right therapist to help you. Wait no more. Our psychotherapists are here to help.

We have seasons in our lives that are filled with stress, anxiety, sadness, guilt, disappointment, grief, and even hopelessness. It can be overwhelming, getting stuck in a place where we cannot see a way forward, unable to change unwanted and repeated behaviors, where no one seems to understand or able to help, feeling frustrated, unmotivated, discouraged, alone, and even ashamed. Or you may be going through transitions, significant changes in work, family, relationships, and are understandably overwhelmed with uncertainty and feelings of loss. If this has been your experience, there is help to walk towards healing and renewal.

I am a bilingual speaking clinical psychologist providing short-term and long-term psychotherapy. I specialize in treating general mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My approach is integrative drawing from psychodynamic theory, interpersonal skills, CBT and DBT. There is no one size fits all model and each session varies based on my client's needs. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can freely express their struggles and explore their vulnerability. Collaboratively, we will understand the underlying issues and formulate a solution.

I specialize in treating adults with childhood or relational trauma and the impact on their mood, identity, relationships, and ability to fully enjoy life.

We can do it.
