Huiyi Li, MA

Psychotherapist
NY
You may recently experienced an argument, a breakup, or a move, a new job, a new school, a new environment, and may now be surrounded by various complex emotions. You realize that you are not the person you imagined yourself to be, and feel frustrated about it. The people and environment around you constantly demand that you let go of anxiety, self doubt, and these 'useless' emotions. But these are all normal phenomena that occur when we are forced to look directly at ourselves under stress. Don't be nervous... When you seek help for yourself, change has already happened. We will share a space, that will be small enough for me to see you; but it is also large enough to allow different ideas, identities, and backgrounds. Here, you can tell your own story and review your self at each stage; You can let emotions flow, allowing them to be seen and felt; You can try to understand yourself and the way you connect with the world from a new perspective. I will listen attentively, use questions to guide thinking, step by step from dealing with emotions to exploring cognition. I don't want to be anyone's teacher, I just want you to listen to your heart. Let us take this opportunity to reconsider our relationship with ourselves in a safe and inclusive environment. When you decide to step into psychotherapy, you may think that you have many problems to solve. Some external expectations of us have become a part of our personality, even becoming constraints and burdens. But that doesn't mean letting go is an easy task. Tearing off the labels we put on ourselves can also be painful, and we can also feel lost before finding the power inside of us. I will accompany you to discover your true self and find your own voice. I believe that the courage behind your determination will guide you in the direction of progress through our joint efforts.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Like many people, the pandemic has greatly affected my career choices. During the entire year of online classes, I had ample time to observe. I see that when we are busy solving problems around us, there is no time or opportunity to encourage us to look inward. So these issues continue to externalize, ultimately affecting our performance in daily life and also impacting our relationships, forming a cycle of stress. This discovery stimulated me to think more, prompted me to communicate more with people around me, and also made me reconsider my career plan. Although studying and obtaining a license may take longer, I want to become a psychological counselor to help my community face psychological crises. I also enjoy the emphasis on continuous learning in my career, which can motivate me to constantly challenge my existing thinking framework and is a valuable growth opportunity for me.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I personally think that mental health counseling does not exist to provide just short-term psychological support. Just as massage can only relieve temporary pain, the muscle strength exercises provided by physical therapy can have a long-term effect, in my opinion, psychological counseling should also have positive challenges. The ideal counseling relationship is close, close enough to have trust; There is also enough space to accommodate different identities, experiences, and perspectives. The purpose of a challenge should not be to persuade visitors to agree with the consultant's values, even if the challenge does not result in a handshake and agreement from everyone. In an environment of genuine concern, it encourages people to think and expand their thinking.
