"To be more fully connected is to be more fully oneself" Hi, I am a bilingual (Mandarin) therapist in NYC and surrounding area with over 13 years of clinical experience supporting children, couples, and families. My client-centered approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I have worked with diverse populations in child welfare, psychiatric centers, and the education system, helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Selective Mutism and relationship issues. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain clarity, and find greater meaning and fulfillment in life
I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm an LCSW with 10+ years of experience helping clients work towards their life goals.
Life today can be very stressful. We play many roles and we are constantly bombarded with information. We have many responsibilities and too little time. Sometimes it's hard to talk to your friends because they're going through the same thing and you don't want to burden them.
Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, mood swings, trauma and anxiety attacks. When you approach the therapeutic process with curiosity, you can grow, heal, and thrive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hempstead
Finding the right therapist in Hempstead starts with getting clear on what you need support with. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
Hempstead and the surrounding Nassau County area have a large number of practicing mental health providers, which can make narrowing your options feel like a project in itself. Consider what matters most to you beyond credentials — things like whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, a provider's communication style, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you get a sense of their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront before you book.
