Getting to know Michelle Sung

Hello there! Whether you’re stuck in spiraling thoughts, constantly performing, or simply in search of clarity, I want to hear your story. In therapy, there is power in knowing yourself and there is power in the uncertainty as well. My hope is to accompany you through your growth in a way that helps you feel less alone, honors the experiences that have led you to where you are now, and welcomes new perspectives that will serve you moving forward. My specialties include self-esteem, generational trauma, family/relationship dynamics, and identity exploration. I received my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and have advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and IFS. If you’re interested in working together, feel free to reach out schedule an appointment. We can explore what working together might look like and I can answer any questions you may have!

What should a new client know about working with you?

This is your space to show up authentically and imperfectly, regardless of the judgments you hold about yourself. I will offer you hope and levity alongside the grit that is required of change. Whether you’re coming in with shame, guilt, or anxiety, we will work together to build a more compassionate and trusting relationship with your internal experiences.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use a relational approach, which means our therapeutic relationship is part of the healing process. The trust and bond we build together will not only help us to understand how you interact with the people around you, but will also serve as an opportunity for you to develop an authentic and fulfilling connection with yourself.

Michelle is attentive, caring, and funny! She made therapy feel like something to look forward to instead of a chore.
Michelle was a great and very understanding therapist. I would recommend her to all of my friends.
Michelle helped me through a really difficult year. For a while, I struggled to find a therapist that I felt like I was making progress with. With Michelle, I finally found someone that didn’t just validate everything I said but actually challenged me to find new insights.
I’m grateful for the ways working with Michelle has changed my life. She saw the best in me at a time in my life when I couldn’t. She is able to connect with you in a way that puts you at ease and allows you to bring your whole self into the session.
Michelle is amazing to work with. She's a great listener and more importantly she understands what I'm trying to say right away. She made me feel seen in a very long time.
After trying a few therapists in the past and failed, Michelle was the only one that understood me. She's really good at asking questions and gets to the root of the issue. During our sessions she remembered all the small details and actively wrote down things that she noticed. I took my learnings from each session and worked on myself over the following months and saw huge improvements. I recommend her, she's the best!
