If we think alike, we would agree that a good life is a life in which we are able to work, to love, and to play. However, in reality, many situations become barriers and prevent us from enjoying life. At times, we might even feel we can't breathe. As a devoted therapist, I will work together with you to remove these barriers -- whatever the cause might be: career stress, rocky relationships, identity confusion, past trauma... You need not face your problems alone. Over years, I have witnessed changes happening, wounds healed, trust rebuilt, and fear given way to courage.

If you find yourself struggling to navigate life in what feels like a messy, complicated, relentless world, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming.

I believe that therapy looks different for everyone, and it can even vary session to session. Most importantly, it is a collaborative process that works best when you feel truly seen and heard.

My practice focuses on anxiety and related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and hoarding, especially in queer/trans clients and people who have experienced family estrangement.

Every person has the ability to heal, make connections, and deserves healthy relationships. I can guide you through life's challenges with compassion and respect.

If you've ever felt held back from your true potential, or if you notice you’re falling into the same frustrating rut in your personal and/or work relationships, I can help you to make sense of this.

It can be challenging to process all sorts of mixed emotions, as they wear you down in your personal and professional life. You may even begin to have self-doubts, struggling to move forward with your goals. The process of navigating these challenges on your own can be confusing, drowning, and overwhelming. I will work with you to build a collective space where we explore your concerns together, understand your emotions, and help you reestablish meaningful connections with others . I see therapy as interactions where you will be empowered to confront reality and appreciate yourself as a whole.

My name is Manqing 'Eve' He, a multilingual counselor who grew up in China, lived shortly in Malaysia and now staying in New York City. Clinically, I have over 6 years of experiences in psychological assessment and psychotherapy, especially with sexual violence, complex trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and self-identity issues.

Do you struggle navigating life? Do you wish you could increase your understanding and skills to make life less challenging? The good news is therapy can help you gain control over your life and pursue your dreams. Life is beautiful, but there are many tools that we as humans need to reach our full potential. Low confidence, readiness to change, trouble communicating, and lack of social support are just some barriers that can prevent you from getting “unstuck.” As a member of the Queer community, I empathize with these experiences and I have done intensive work personally and professionally that has changed my life for the better.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 30 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

You know yourself better than anyone else: your struggles, dreams, desires, goals, feelings, relationships. As a therapist, I help people understand their experiences in a safe and empathic space that promotes growth, healing, and the creative exploration of all areas of life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, sad or anxious, talking together with a professional does help. Are you in an unfulfilling relationship where you feel misunderstood, criticized, estranged or abused? Or maybe you have doubts or worries about yourself as a person, feel like you're not a good enough son or daughter, partner or parent.

Trying to navigate life and relationships during and after a pandemic has not only affected our daily routine, we may also find ourselves confronting frustration, anxiety and depression.
