"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

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.
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.
Introduce yourself to help prospective clients learn about you and your practice. We recommend including your professional background, education and any specific treatment areas you specialize in.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Merrick
Finding the right therapist in Merrick starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider who has experience with your specific concerns. 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. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Merrick or the flexibility of virtual appointments, and look for a provider whose availability fits your schedule. If you'd like help with medication management alongside talk therapy, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Therapy in the Merrick area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network insurance benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
