Getting to know Jennifer Zhang
Hi there, I'm Jenn. I'm a telehealth psychotherapist licensed in New York and Florida, with a Master's in Counseling from New York University.
I provide culturally informed care for individuals navigating negative self-talk, low self-esteem, and a desire to live authentically. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I relate to the challenges of balancing multiple cultural expectations and identities, especially when they seem to pull you in different directions. This internal conflict can often leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain about who we genuinely are. It can also lead to guilt, shame, and self-doubt, as we try to reconcile what is "right," what is "wrong," and who we "should" be.
My approach is rooted in Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytical Therapy with the integration of Narrative, IFS, and EMDR. I specialize in exploring internal conflicts and building greater awareness of clients' true selves. It's a collaborative process, where we'll explore unconscious needs, unresolved issues, and defense mechanisms that hinder internal peace.
I commit to fostering self-compassion and embracing who you are to the core. When you acknowledge your limitations with kindness, you can move toward true self-love and acceptance. Together, we will explore your past experiences, cultural background, and the varying parts within you to find clarity and establish a secure sense of self.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I strive to connect with my clients by building trust through rapport, collaboration, and humor. I'm not a therapist who will not react or show any emotional response - I'm human, just like you. You should feel supported in an environment where you're comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions without judgment. At the same time, I believe in being direct and challenging your perspectives in a constructive way, encouraging you to view situations from new angles in hopes of gaining a deeper level of awareness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
For new clients, I highly recommend starting with weekly sessions. It's crucial in the beginning to have continuity week over week so that our relationship can strengthen and our work can be productive in the long run. All sessions are around 45 minutes, conducted via Zoom.
