Therapists in New York

I have experience working with a wide range of patients from young children to older adults. I approach therapy from a patient-focused and strengths-based lens, believing that each individual has the capacity to overcome life's challenges when it comes to all areas of work, relationships, and family. Additionally, growing up in a Chinese (Fujianese) immigrant family in America, I understand the impact of generational trauma and cultural identity struggles that first generational individuals and people of color may deal with. I work with patients and within the community to mend and grow from these experiences.

Sometimes we feel stuck, that life has become unmanageable, or that we simply will never find happiness. Please know that I understand. I provide practical, empathetic, non-judgmental psychotherapy grounded in scientific research. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a warm, genuine, authentic space where you can come to understand and identify the unhelpful patterns in your life, and choose to make adjustments that clear your path forward.

I believe therapy should be long term and built on the strong relationship between therapist and client. My approach is solution focused with forward orientation. I try to encourage clients to share at their pace & they will be met exactly where they are at. Anything shared is viewed as a gift & a privilege to hear. I practice eclectic psychotherapy using a wide range of tools, training, and skills with my life experience to support clients in being able to achieve the desired change, acceptance, or processing they may be seeking. I want you to feel safe enough to finally tell someone: what happened to you. You are no longer alone.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, or frustrated in your life, but aren't exactly sure why? My relational approach to therapy focuses on really getting to know you and your story, to help you to gain a better understanding of yourself, your emotions, and your goals. With this knowledge we can discover together how you can live your best life! My specialties include working with people who are feeling anxious/stressed, people struggling in their relationships (romantic or platonic), members of the LGBTQ* community, and college students. I also have years of experience working with visual and performing artists.

I am a licensed mental health and addictions counselor.

Therapy allows an individual to identify areas within their life to process, heal and gain overall recovery. In treatment, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, changes within ones life, pregnancy and postpartum as well as substance abuse. Within sessions, you are given an opportunity to re-center the self, process ways to make powerful decisions within your life and overall create a meaningful pathway to wellness.

I provide an integrative, psycho-dynamically based psychotherapy. I work with individual adult clients, couples and teens. I work with my clients in an acceptance-based, patient, gentle and methodical way. Therapy for me is a collaborative process in which the client and therapist mutually identify, clarify and explore the issues that are facing the client, paced in a way that is fully comfortable to the client

As a trauma informed generalist, my ideal client will be open to working with different modalities but is comfortable with discussing the mind-body connection as well as a systems perspective. I am most interested in working with clients who carry multiple identities (racial, gender, sexual) as I will maintain infinite curiosity about the many parts of you. Deepening self awareness and making meaning out of difficult lived experiences is what drives me in my pursuit of helping others. Acceptance of what is and an understanding of self is the key to real empowerment. I hope to be a guide in your journey toward recovery.

Therapy is often a place of navigating change. You may be coping with a transitional period of your life, or you may be trying to make changes but don’t know where to start. You might start questioning who you are, where you’re going, and how you can possibly get there. Life gets overwhelming as everything seems to attack you all at once. Relationships never seem to work out. Productivity and self care is a never-ending balancing act. Anxiety and fear prevent you from becoming the best version of yourself. The things that have helped you survive or protected you from pain in the past may now be holding you back, or vice versa.

We fear being vulnerable. We run from difficult feelings. We seek approval of others. We feel ashamed of our emotional baggage. Worst part is, we often try to hide these under our mask because of shame, fear, and anxiety. But hiding in shame only makes us feel worse about ourselves with isolation, emptiness, and a sense of self-hatred. In my practice, I support my clients to feel accepted, validated with no judgement. To promote healing and growth, I sit through difficult emotions until self-acceptance and self-compassion is communicated and received in a safe space.

Are you seeking evidence-based psychotherapy to help you achieve your goals or manage your symptoms? I, or another qualified therapist at the MindWell Center, may be able to help you. I operate from a person-centered approach, incorporating interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based upon individual needs. I strive to help my clients live as their authentic selves, identifying ways to incorporate ones' strengths and values as to nurture happier, more meaningful lives.

I'm a therapist because I love working with people and embrace humanity in all its glorious, messy, wondrous complexity. I'm here to work with your needs as a client, to help you understand yourself better and to empower you on your journey of growth and healing. I practice using an integrative approach, which means: I see you as a person shaped by your past, present and thoughts about the future; by your innate personality, environment and upbringing; by your social relationships, likes, dislikes and relationship with yourself.

Are you experiencing stressrelated issues like anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, interpersonal conflicts or problems to perform? It is quite common that people with high standards experience a lot of pressure. Most people I work with are high performing clients such as managers, attornies, physicians and other freelance c-level professionals or students. Sometimes stress can be overwhelming and many individuals develop symptoms due to their and life's expectations. My goal is it to help you understanding triggers and work on coping mechanisms which will help you to improve your life.

It can be especially tough navigating a world that can feel unsafe, judgmental, and unforgiving. Finding a safe and inviting space to explore those thoughts and feelings is crucial on the journey towards healing. In this space you can discover all aspects of your identity, and develop the coping skills to find self-acceptance, self-love, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
