About
Hi, I’m Minty (Minze), a licensed therapist. I see clients in English or Mandarin, by video in New York, New Jersey, and California, and in person at our office in Manhattan.
I’m passionate about working with people from many backgrounds, with a culturally sensitive approach in which we learn from each other. My experience spans hospital psychiatric departments, community outpatient clinics, and public schools. I specialize in working with young adults navigating relationships, life between two cultures, life transitions, and self-discovery. I also have a strong background in helping school-age children overcome anxiety, build self-esteem, and cope with parents’ separation or the loss of someone they love.
How I work
I encourage mindful observation and symbolic expression. I’ll help you develop a “reflective mind,” growing more aware of your life and yourself. Together, we observe, reflect, and experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Child and family therapy

I’m dedicated to offering a non-judgmental, grounded space, a sanctuary where you can safely explore difficult emotions and freely express your authentic self. I’m often amazed by how courageous and resilient people can be.
