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.

People benefit from having a safe space, where they can navigate through their life’s struggles and learn about themselves. As a therapist, I provide that space as a sincere and non-judgmental listener. My passion is to provide support to my clients and empower them to grow through their experiences.

Therapy is a process towards finding answers, balance in a world full of stresses and responsibilities and how each one fits in the world. Our innate wisdom draws one towards and in search of happiness and emotional well-being.

As a therapist who works with both individuals and couples, I provide practical suggestions, empowering techniques and dynamic interaction to my therapy approach. I conduct every therapy session as if it were the first and last so that something significant is gained from every session. I am here to provide focused professional attention to individuals, families and couples in distress - helping people get their lives back on track one individual at a time.

I have been working with children and their families for over 15 years in settings such as hospitals, schools, mental health clinics and client's homes. I have extensive experience treating children with anxiety and depression, behavioral and anger management issues, ADHD, and oppositional defiance disorder. I have supported families through various stages of the divorce process and loss of a family member. I believe that a child is successful in therapy when the whole family is supportive and involved and I therefore have strong communication with a child's parents. I follow a Cognitive Behavioral and strengths based approach.

Do you fight with your partner?do you or any family member use alcohol or drugs to excess? ? Do you have painful secrets? Do you feel anxious? numb? powerless? angry? Sad? Ashamed? unworthy? You deserve to be treated kindly and with respect. Would you like to talk with someone who listens with care and helps you find solutions? I am a warm, experienced therapist who is perceptive and has a good sense of humor. I tailor my approach to the needs of the client. I think outside the box and help my clients do so as well.

When working with clients, I hope to find opportunities in which I can support individuals develop a framework and build support that will last beyond the confines of our work together. The beginnings of that very framework will be developed during the initial session, during which biopsychosocial assessments will be completed so we can determine the client’s goals for therapy. More importantly, however, the intake process is the first opportunity in which I can learn about my clients—this is the time where that trust, support, and the therapeutic alliance begins to form.
