Chenning Gao, MA

Chenning Gao, MA

Psychotherapist
1010 Northern Blvd, Ste 311, Great Neck, NY
What if you see yourself for who you truly are, not your struggles? As a mother of four, parenting coach, and marathoner, I understand the 'long-game' of growth. I help you bridge the gap to your authentic self through a cross-cultural lens. My approach is about honoring the unique path that brought you here. I am passionate about helping you find acceptance, belonging, and growth. I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Gottman Method to support individuals, couples, and families navigating depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, perinatal and perimenopause transitions. Multilingual in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, I especially enjoy working with college students, young professionals, women, parents, and couples. Taking the first step toward change can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to uncover and embrace your most authentic self, I invite you to begin that journey with me.
