As you are reading this, welcome to therapy! My name is Yaying, and I'm a licensed mental health counselor based in NYC. Therapy might seem mysterious; but in fact, it is a journey to understand and explore the holistic self, to make sense of the world, and to make the change that you truly want. In my role as a therapist, I've been moved by witnessing the self-empowerment of my clients as they emerge from their struggles and pain. I promise I will be the bridge to help and guide you connect your different inner parts, to stand by you through this healing journey. As an Asian professional, I've been working with immigrant families and individuals since graduate school, providing individual, group, and couples therapy. I've also worked with LGBTQ+ individuals and mothers struggling with postpartum depression. I practice integrated therapy using CBT, DBT, Gestalt, Attachment-Based Therapy, etc. based on your needs. Finding the "right" therapist is challenging; you may feel confused by different therapeutic orientations and training backgrounds. For me, therapy is two people in a safe space, talking freely to explore the authentic self, and healing through genuine connection. I invite you to reach out so we can chat and get to know each other better.
