Allay Therapy is a private psychotherapy practice in New York City specializing in providing LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma informed and non-judgment care
Are you finding it difficult to cope with your overthinking, negative feelings, and anxious thoughts? Do your negative feelings associate with your appearance, self-worth, or accomplishments? Does it sound like “I’m not good enough, I will never succeed, I’ll always be alone, I hate the way I look, No one cares about me”? Do your anxious thoughts manifest in difficulty sleeping, working, or socializing? Do you feel you need a place for someone to hear you, see you, and validate your experience? Would you like to acquire coping skills for anxiety regarding your relationships, your career, or communication? I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy to help adults overcome negative self-talk, life transitions, relationship issues, and imposter syndrome and achieve an increased understanding of feelings, emotions, relationships, communication, and self-worth. I aim to create a collaborative environment within our therapy sessions because I believe you, as the client, have the ability to understand yourself and your concerns and you may just need some assistance in building the tools to manage and overcome them. Together, we will figure out how to build a relationship that will support you in the way that you need.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, creative, and grounded in both trauma-informed and person-centered care. I believe that therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and understood. Building trust and genuine connection is at the core of my approach, and I strive to meet each client with empathy and curiosity rather than judgment. I draw from evidence-based modalities while tailoring treatment to the individual. This means our work together may include strategies from CBT, psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, or strengths-based frameworks. I highly value your voice in the process and view therapy as a shared space where we can explore challenges, deepen insight, and build tools for healing and growth. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and others navigating identity, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational stress. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, and make sure to honor your strengths and resilience every step of the way.
You’re a strong, successful individual who puts in hard work to maintain your endeavors! Everyone looks up to you- you are resilient, go getter & just bad ass at everything you do, it makes you feel amazing! However, at times you feel overwhelmed with pressured expectations of society or your immediate circle- you feel deeply saddened behind closed doors-sometimes anxious & just need someone outside of your circle to share these hindering feelings. These challenges don’t have to define you, we can help you define them & heal through it… I look forward to meeting you & joining you on this journey of wellness towards happiness! I offer various forms of clinical interventions that focus on the client’s needs while individualizing his/her/their treatment plan. If you are interested in working with me, feel free to reach me- looking forward to meeting with you!

I am an Asian American therapist with over 10 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, traditional and non-traditional. My aim as a therapist is to offer my clients a space where they can take the time from their otherwise hectic schedules to pause and be curious about their feelings, behaviors, and reactions.

In therapy, one can reconnect with the parts of themselves needed to feel balanced and thrive.
