Life can be difficult at times. A person could feel "dissatisfied with life," "unhappy," or "unfulfilled," despite all the efforts. Collaborating with a skilled psychotherapist could help a person identify and break the maladaptive patterns, make positive changes in life, and experience more happiness and freedom. I am a bilingual (Chinese & English) psychologist with over 18 years of training and experience. I adopt an integrative and holistic style, blending elements of Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential approaches through the lens of culture.

The longstanding emotional pain caused by psychological problems can greatly interfere with the quality and enjoyment of your life. For example, you may find yourself unable to feel motivated at work, anxious and depressed, disappointed in friends and family, angry and envious of others, and/or self-conscious and unsure of your abilities. These problems do not just show up overnight, and will not disappear with just a few sessions or a "quick fix" treatment. You should be skeptical of a mental health professional who offers or guarantees a quick cure.

My client may be a person who currently feels stuck in their life, or dealing with chronic health issues, issues related to aging, coming out, or dealing with depression and anxiety. They are seeking to feel better emotionally, function better in their lives, and connect to others in a more meaningful way. I honor the uniqueness of my patients and celebrate the qualities which make them particularly remarkable. I work with patients to achieve more satisfaction from their lives and choices, and provide them with support and practical feedback to assist in helping them resolve current problems and long-standing maladaptive patterns.

Sometimes in life things do not go according to plan. Ever changing circumstances require flexibility, resilience, patience and a constantly evolving and expanding tool box of skills. Sometimes we do not have all the skills that we need in order to live a fulfilling life we love. When that happens, it can be helpful to lean on others for support. I believes that self-reflection, kindness, understanding and patience are the keys to growth and healing. I have worked and continue to work with a variety of individuals using a client centered approach to aid individuals in achieving their goals for care and life.

Life can be difficult at times. Many people who come to a therapist begin by saying they just want to talk to someone, they are unhappy, anxious or troubled by difficulties at work or in their relationships but don't know why. I view psychological symptoms as attempts to communicate something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes-the emotional meanings of our personal history. I believe in respecting my clients' authority in their own lives, including in the therapy process.

Hi! Are you a bit tired and exhausted? Are you a bit tired of being tired and exhausted? Finding and protecting our joy and happiness is critical to your entire well-being and ability to be "present" for the things that matter the most. There are many struggles that drains us of our energies, regardless and many times because of our families, race, religion, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, socio-economic, and immigration status.

My name is Melanie. I am an LMHC and I work with young to middle-aged adults who feel anxiety & overwhelm (sometimes like an 'imposter') in their lives, especially during life transitions. I help you better understand your emotions, practice boundary setting, balance acceptance and control, and work through conflict in order to have more fulfilling relationships. In addition to therapy, I also offer financial coaching to individuals/couples who feel overwhelmed by money stress and want to feel more secure in your financial wellbeing by exploring the emotional & psychological aspects of money.

I am grateful to be a guide to people coping with different life challenges: depression, anxiety, loss, traumatizing events, relationship problems, etc. Collaborating with a professional who can both understand you ("get you") and help you find solutions to problems can be transformative. Exploring how to build upon strengths and find new ways of coping with life challenges is an opportunity to take charge. Therapy is a great tool for this empowerment. I have an open-minded, non-judgmental style and am committed to helping others explore making changes in their situations within a safe, respectful environment. I can help.

Like most human beings, you are doing your best trying to deal with the cards life dealt you. You are motivated and want to improve the quality of your life; only life hasn’t always provided you with the answers. If you are like most people, you have put in a lot of effort and often ended up disappointed in those ‘proven’ methods. However, your life and your brain are unique. Just like you can’t debate whether a hammer or screwdriver is ‘better’, there is no ‘best’ psychological method.

Melissa (she/they) believes that therapy should provide a supportive, empathetic, and nurturing space for clients. Ultimately, she recognizes that therapy can be hard and can unearth a lot of emotions and experiences. They aim to utilize a collaborative, trauma-informed, and individualized therapeutic approach to best support you in exploring how you are feeling and where you want to go. Some of their main goals are to ensure you feel heard, deepen your awareness, and continue to grow session to session. More importantly, though, Melissa’s main goal is to support you in reaching your goals in therapy.

Seeking therapy for your child can be extremely stressful. I believe that when a child faces difficult times, it's crucial that they're supported and taught skills in order to help benefit their future. Managing the stressors of life and the behaviors our thoughts create can be extremely difficult.

Do you find that difficult emotions lead you to avoid, procrastinate, or steer away from the things that matter most to you? As a clinical psychologist, I can offer another approach: flexibility, self-compassion, and moving towards your values even in the face of emotional distress. Together, we will identify unhelpful patterns that are not working for you and practice new ways of coping that will help you meet your goals. I use evidence-based treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I specialize in individual and couples therapy, particularly for people negotiating midlife crises and transitions. I can help you to understand yourself and other people better, and to find meaning for yourself in midlife and beyond. I give a regular talk at NYU School of Medicine on coping effectively with midlife challenges. I've also published a recent journal article on midlife issues in the Psychoanalytic Review, Oct. 2019: "Generativity and Its Viscissitudes." For couples work, broadly speaking, I have experience working with nonconventional relationships, and am queer, kink, and CNM/poly friendly.

My aim in therapy is to listen to my clients and help them go where they want to go. That starts with creating a welcoming space that allows for creativity and growth. My approach is individualized to my clients’ needs and uses CBT/mindfulness and other methods to help clients thrive rather than simply avoid symptoms. I have experience guiding clients through anxiety, OCD, and depression and with building strong relationships and navigating career and life challenges.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
