Career Counseling Therapists in New York, NY

Anxiety therapy for NYC professionals and entrepreneurs. Grow your career with less anxiety and more confidence. Working in NYC was your dream; anxiety made it overwhelming - you’re exhausted overthinking everything, frustratingly stuck in inaction, and struggling to make your dreams happen. You’ve always been a dreamer, but lately you’re worried that’s all you’ll ever be. One thing is for sure - you’re ready for some relief! You’re ready to stop overthinking and gain some clarity. You’re ready to disconnect from anxiety and reconnect with your confidence. Most of all, you’re ready to get unstuck and finally go from dreamer to doer.

I believe that we all possess the power to make lasting changes in our lives. We just need the right support. I take a holistic attitude to understanding the challenges my clients face, including paying attention to the importance of culture and environment. I believe that change occurs when we acknowledge intersectionality, the complexity of identity, and the important roles that social systems like family, religion, culture, class, gender, and race play in people’s lives, not when we ignore the broader picture and focus only on the individual.

I provide an opportunity for people to freely express their feelings and thoughts to achieve the changes they desire. I work interactively with clients so they may develop their strengths and achieve their goals. Assisting individuals in becoming at ease with their feelings, however difficult they may be, is an important aspect of the work I do. Feelings can become useful tools for living rather than disturbing impediments. The ubiquitous problems of uncomfortable feelings, harmful behaviors, and the challenges of relationships, careers and parenting are common areas of focus.

Therapy can be challenging, especially starting, whether it's your first time or you are looking for a new therapist.

Maybe you are looking for help with relationships, or with anxiety, with career, or ADHD, or maybe a life transition. These are some of the issues I work with.

I’m an Asian American therapist, helping adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, cultural identity, attachment issues, racial trauma, and more.

"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" asked the poet, Mary Oliver. I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it. It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of “what do you want to be when you grow up”? How in the world do we answer that?

I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK BACK IN THE FUTURE. When you feel the world around you is fragile, as many people do now, it is important to feel grounded in your own skin and relationships. I work with individuals and couples hoping to develop a new perspective on their lives, or to take concrete steps to manage daily stressors, life transitions, and uncomfortable emotions. We will explore what's keeping you up at night or weighing you down by day. I provide a space where you can be vulnerable while sorting through issues from your past and present that are getting in your way.

I believe that no one should face difficult times alone.

Our work together can help you heal, get to know yourself better, find the strength to face difficulties, deepen communication with others, and ultimately lead a more aware, fulfilling life.

I utilize short-term and long-term therapeutic strategies, based on the needs of each person.
