Office located at Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York
I work with clients who experience trauma, whether it is childhood sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, or more recent traumatic events. You might wish to forget about it by not talking about it, but it often comes back and “haunts” you. The best way to deal with a “ghost” is to talk about it and take away its power over you. It is normal that you want to avoid it. However, the worst part of Trauma is that it continues. I would like to help you work through and separate the past from the present so you can move on with your life. I am also very much interested in working on Women’s Issues, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
You might feel compelled to behave in certain ways, and you don't understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we will explore what works for you and what doesn’t by listening and seeking understanding. I will help reflect on any parts you did not understand before. With more information about yourself, you will be able to make better choices.
It takes great courage to seek help. I strive to create a trusting, holding environment for my clients. I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in training, and fluent in both English and Mandarin. I offer one to two sessions per week of psychotherapy, as well as three to four sessions per week of psychoanalysis.
欢迎了解我的个人执业心理咨询工作室: 我工作重点之一是帮助支持经历过创伤的来访者——无论这些创伤源自童年时期的性侵犯、身体虐待、情感虐待，还是近期的突发性创伤事件。虽然人们常想通过遗忘而继续自己的生活，但创伤往往会反反复复地干扰你的生活工作。有时候，我们会感觉有一种强大的驱动力，让我们不由自主的用特定的方式去应对生活，而很难做出改变。基于十几年的精神分析的受训，跟来访的工作，以及自己的个人分析体验，让我对创伤有了更多的了解可以帮助你将过去的和现在的体验分开来。从而修复你所经历的创伤并继续自己的人生。当人们经历过创伤性事件之后，会很难去信任另外一个人。当一个社会群体经历过历史性的创伤事件之后，人们通常会变得很难信任彼此。创伤的可怕之处，在于它并未有一个真正的结束，它会继续影响你的生活，会继续传递给彼此和下一代。曾经被欺凌过的人也可能会更恐惧自己成为那个伤害别人的人而变得孤独，无法允许自己拥有自己想要的生活。也会导致人们害怕（展示）自己脆弱的部分，拒绝接受帮助而备受孤独的痛苦。所以当你能够来到咨询中寻求帮助本身就展示出很大的勇气。
在我们心理咨询/精神分析的工作中，我们可以一起去探索了解你的情绪感受，思想和自己的行为。在探索的过程中，我会帮助你一起反思那些你所不了解的自己的部分。通过对自己有更多的了解，了解那些自己不曾看到的部分之后，你将可以有更多反思的空间从而可以做出不一样的，或者说更适合你的人生选择。我对与成人和青少年及其家人的工作都很感兴趣。除了创伤议题，我对女性议题，各类关系问题（家庭、亲密关系等），职场问题和焦虑抑郁等也非常的感兴趣。
我是在纽约曼哈顿上东区说中文的心理咨询师，并提供视频咨询或者面询。你可以选择一周一次的心理咨询，或者很多人感觉一周两次的咨询会很有帮助，也有人对一周3-4次的精神分析十分感兴趣。希望可以在咨询的框架中，和你一起探讨适合您的咨询方案，实现你的咨询目标。
