Haoyan Lin

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with dual graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania—an M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Services and an M.S.PHL in Professional Counseling. I’m passionate about supporting individuals through challenges related to anxiety, trauma, and relationships. My multicultural background and specialized training in evidence-based practices for emotion regulation and trauma-informed care inform my compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy. I offer evening sessions Mon–Thu for adults after work and after-school sessions for kids/teens, in-person or online.

My therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and align their actions with their core values. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences and move toward meaningful change.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and make sure we’re a good fit to work together. I’ll conduct a biopsychosocial assessment to understand your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. From there, we’ll start building a treatment plan that reflects your values and personal strengths.
