Qiuyi Lin

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. As an immigrant and a neurodivergent adult, I bring both personal understanding and professional experience to my work. I especially enjoy supporting adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, cultural identity, and life transitions.

My style is warm, direct, and expressive. You’ll probably see plenty of facial expressions from me! You can expect thoughtful questions, honest conversations, and practical tools. I bring my real self into our conversations, and I welcome you to do the same. You don’t need to hide parts of yourself or have the right words to begin.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with tools from CBT and DBT, to help you navigate difficult thoughts and emotions, recognize patterns that keep you stuck, and take steps toward what matters to you. I also offer EMDR to help process distressing experiences when appropriate, with careful preparation and at your pace. I tailor therapy to your needs, cultural background, and lived experiences. Together, we’ll build insight and skills you can use beyond our sessions.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your concerns, background, and what you hope to change, while leaving space for your questions. You don’t need to have everything figured out or share everything right away. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we’ll identify meaningful goals and begin developing a practical plan that fits your needs, values, and everyday life.
