Therapists in New York

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe the relationship I create with my clients is the most important. Our time is sacred and the alliance we establish is the real facilitator of change and growth. My goal when working together is to ensure that we connect. Ultimately, I want clients to feel heard, understood, safe, and secure. I work with people of all ages and abilities and my specialties include trauma recovery, crisis intervention and suicide prevention. My hopes are that I can assist clients in creating an authentic and fulfilling life they feel equipped to navigate, no matter what obstacles come up along the way.

The long term goal of Calm Seas as a whole is to support our Law Enforcement families from the start of their careers (DAY ONE) until they retire and move into the next phase of their lives. We are here to help through and prevent the long term affects of trauma, addiction, divorce, and suicide.

You are the expert of your own life. Sometimes we lack the support or skills to create a meaningful life for ourselves. I am here to support you in cultivating your strengths and help you increase your toolbox of skills to build your sense of mastery and ability to cope more effectively with the challenges in your life.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, issues related to drugs or alcohol, and those recovering and healing from trauma. I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities. I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum, and parental mental health. Many of my clients are mental health care providers themselves, who need clinical supervision or emotional support. My approach supports exploration of both the roots of emotions, behaviors, and patterns, while also talking about the here and now.

Yidong imagine everyone as a piece of melody. Each melody has its basic tone, no matter what the lyric might be about. The tone is mystery to have access to and fix, where despite you can add different instruments to cover it and change lyrics for your melody, it still somehow feels the same. You may be feeling confused and tired, or frustrated and trapped. Instead devoting all the effort to change your tone, I am here to help provide insights and reflective attitude towards any tone that you bring into our space, that you resent, or confused about.

My focus as a therapist is helping you understand and embrace your own identity and your own values. There is powerful strength in being yourself, and we can discover that strength together. My expertise is particularly in working with body image and eating disorders, with people who have or wish to be evaluated for autism and/or ADHD, with people experiencing self-injury or suicidal ideation, and with people who have "treatment-resistant" or severe anxiety and depression. I partner with patients who want to understand themselves on a deep level, while simultaneously offering concrete skills and tools to alleviate current symptoms.

I'm passionate about providing a safe and therapeutic space for those who have experienced childhood, sexual, race or gender based, or combat-related trauma. I'm trained in trauma-informed mental health care and developed my therapeutic approach working with a diverse population of individuals and families. I'm deeply sensitive to racial, cultural, occupational, economic, and social justice-related influences on how we experience and heal from trauma.

Have you gone through hardships or trauma and questioned if you had the strength to continue living a fulfilling life? Do you often question your future based on your past and present experiences?

Hi! I believe everyone has the capacity to change and grow, to heal from past trauma and to reclaim their relationship with themselves. My approach is relational and client-centered, with a focus on mind-body integration. I also draw from humanistic and psychodynamic modalities to cater the treatment plan to every individual I work with. I provide a safe, non judge-mental space for adults, children and adolescents to authentically work through wherever they may be in the moment. I welcome all genders, sexualities, and ethnicities to begin their healing journey.

Hello! The decision to begin therapy is a courageous and self-nourishing one. It's challenging to take that step back and take inventory of your life and your role in it. Therapy is a place where you can truly do exactly that in a non-judgmental, empathy driven space. We will reflect on what may need to change, and process through those feelings as a team. Together, we will work on understanding emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and how they work together, effective ways to label and express your feelings, and learn coping strategies to use in your everyday life.

I am a trauma trained clinician who uses a mix of modalities to identify barriers to living the life you want, process what has you stuck, and make sure you have the skills you need to live a life with purpose.

I work with humans of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, non-suicidal self-injury, grief and bereavement, trauma & LGBTQIA+ folk. I am honored when someone commits to making this journey with me.
