In New York City, therapy is more accepted now, especially in NYC. You can tell people you go to therapy and they won’t assume you are “crazy” but this wasn’t always that case. Rewind back a decade ago, it was shameful and scary to ask your parents to see a shrink. According to CDC 2018 report (Center for Disease and Prevention), suicide is the leading cause of death among Asian Americans aged 20-24 years, responsible for about 33% of deaths in that age bracket. That percentage falls to 21% for non-Hispanic whites, 15% for people of Hispanic origin, and just under 10% for non-Hispanic Blacks. It was a shameful secret that as Chinese American females we had to hide. I remember finally when I turned 21 and I discovered that my close friend is seeing an Asian therapist for just how to adjust with a new life in the United States and I was shocked! I would think finding a Chinese American therapist would be as rare as unicorns. I would not know that therapy was an option and they also took my insurance. I booked myself an appointment and that was how my journey from self growth to becoming a wounded healer began….
I work with people facing a wide variety of life challenges including depression, anxiety, family conflict, career transition, and trauma. I use a EMDR as well as other supportive approaches blending psychodynamic. My upbringing and life experiences provide me with a bi-cultural lens. My social work training allows me to discuss and address with you how racism and oppression has affected your mental health and your sense of belonging in this world.
My approaches include: I provide long term or short term therapy. My post-grad includes the New York School for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, suicide assessment and prevention, and certification for EMDR for trauma. ?
Working with me would be a conversation. The first session I would be learning more about you and listening to your story. I see myself as a "collector of stories" and a detective making sense of things in parts of your life that are "irrational". It is a safe and warm space for you to process your loss. Therapy with me would be learning more about yourself.

Shanni is a great listener, non-judgmental, and we have built a genuine bond quite quickly. Highly recommend!

Shanni is truly wonderful to work with. She has a way of being incredibly understanding and patient while also remaining 'real' and easy to talk to. She has been an immense help in navigating stress in both my professional and personal life. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a therapist who actually listens and provides genuine support.

Shanni is pure gold! She is an incredible and highly talented therapist. Among the very best. She is also one of the most empathetic people I have met.
HMVerified patient
Shanni has been able to help me stay touch with my emotions! I haven been able to cry but recently I felt that I can finally let my tears out and it was such an amazing feeling to cry and feel my emotions! Highly recommend Shanni to anyone!
AYVerified patient
when i started seeing shanni i felt powerless and broken as i was coming out of a very traumatic time in my life. shanni’s deep understanding of trauma, relationships and family systems, as well as her empathy and sound advice, provided the solid foundation i needed to start healing and processing. over two years later i am a completely different person now. nearly everyone i know is shocked at how much i have transformed in terms of my ability to set boundaries and emotionally regulate, and i attribute this to shanni. she has changed my life and i can’t recommend her enough.
LBVerified patient
Shanni has been really instrumental in my self-discovery journey. She is warm, compassionate, and incredibly invested; during our time together I've always felt seen, heard, and supported. I'm beyond thankful for her guidance.
DPVerified patient
Very relaxing atmosphere and beautiful office. I found it was very easy to talk to Shanni and she obviously has a lot of training in different aspects of therapy
GLVerified patient
Absolutely phenomenal experience with therapist Shanni Liang! From the moment I walked into her office, I felt a sense of warmth and understanding. Shanni's empathetic approach immediately put me at ease, creating a safe space where I could freely express myself without fear of judgment.
Her expertise and professionalism are evident in every session. Shanni possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively and offer insightful guidance tailored to my unique needs. She skillfully navigates through complex emotions and challenges, providing invaluable perspective and support along the way.
Through her guidance, I've gained a deeper understanding of myself and developed effective coping mechanisms to navigate life's obstacles.
I wholeheartedly recommend Shanni Liang to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated therapist. Five stars without hesitation!
ISVerified patient
Shanni was wonderful at helping me navigate past hardships, career stressors and relationships. She has a really lovely and gentle way of teaching calming techniques that cam down the nervous system and other tools that help ensure ou find success outsideof her sessions and beyond.
DKVerified patient
I’ve seen a couple of therapist over the years, but Shanni has been the best one so far. I’m grateful to have met her and all the work we have done together over the last year.
JEVerified patient
I am so grateful that I found Shanni a little over a year ago. I have tried several therapists over the years, but never felt as seen or supported as I do by Shanni. We have been able to discuss issues around family dynamics, dating, aging, friendships, career, etc, and I truly feel I am doing better in each of these areas because of her support and guidance. Shanni goes above and beyond, even between sessions, sending suggestions, links, videos, articles in order to further my progress. She strikes a great balance between providing concrete advice, but never pressuring you to take it. Overall, I would highly recommend Shanni!
CMVerified patient
She is very insightful and has helped me become a better person. She has been able to understand my emotions and perspective and can provide possible solutions to conflicts I’m in. She has helped me so many time in crucial situations, my appreciation for her is indescribable, and I recommend that others visit her.
IGVerified patient
I have been working on my mental health with Shanni since 9/2022, and I have seen significant improvement in my depression, anxiety, and burnout. Shanni has been very supportive on helping me address my issues with past mental traumas, and she has helped me create healthier boundaries with work and toxic family members/friends. I highly recommend her, especially with helping create addressing depression and anxiety, as well as establishing healthy boundaries, particularly in the context of being an Asian American.
AHVerified patient
Ms. Shanni is by far, the most understanding and caring therapist, I have ever met. She is slow, and methodical, and I never feel rushed during any of our sessions. She has patience like a saint, and is very understanding of my needs. I never feel like my hands are being held either, and she has never once gave off the appearance of condescension. She works with me, and is very supportive, through my journey. The person I am now, is completely different from the person, she first met. I cannot thank her enough, nor reccomend her enough.
JKVerified patient
Shanni is a great therapist. She is always on time, respectful, and thoughtful. I appreciate the combined use of EMDR, talk therapy, and practical tools used in sessions. She is knowledgeable and has keen insight into her patients. I highly recommend Shanni!
KLVerified patient
I've been through a couple of therapists trying to find the right one for me, and I'm very happy that I had stumbled upon Shanni. She takes the time to get to know you and listen to what you need. Even after your session, she reflects on what you've said and brings it to your next session to see how she can help you become stronger.
I have worked with Shanni on issues revolving around my family, career, culture, and relationships. The growth I've experienced with her has truly changed my life for the better. Compared to how I was a year ago, I've seen a significant improvement in what I had wanted to accomplish with therapy. While there is still more to go, I feel relieved she is by my side. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for support and positive change.
