“I began sessions with Qingyang at a time when work-related issues were causing significant anxiety and stress in my life. Throughout the several months of our meetings, the transformation in my well-being has been remarkable. She guided me in rediscovering my strength and focusing on my personal growth and self-care amidst the challenges.
If you're in need of a therapist who offers genuine care, profound insights, and effective tools, I cannot recommend Qingyang enough.”

Getting to know Qingyang Xu
Qingyang has worked in the mental health field since 2013. She became a licensed psychotherapist after graduating from the Advanced Clinical Practice Track at the Columbia University School of Social Work. She treated clients with both criminal histories and severe mental disorders at the City University of New York; provided therapy services to clients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, social phobia, and PTSD at Gouverneur Hospital’s behavioral health department; was trained at the neurologic department at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and provided talk therapy to people with a wide range of mental health issues; accompanied victims of human trafficking and abuse to court hearings and provided individual and group therapy to them with a focus on PTSD and trauma; maintained a caseload of 50 at the Ingham County 30th Judicial Circuit Court and helped juveniles who were placed in probation by providing counseling and legal assistance.
Besides being a therapist, she managed clinical programs for different companies, worked as a research assistant at the Personality and Wellbeing lab at Michigan State University, and worked as a case manager for Aetna’s medical cases. Although she is now a program manager at Columbia University with a macro focus on clinical programs, she still maintains a strong interest in psychotherapy and continues providing online therapy. She specializes in CBT and DBT for international students, immigrants, highly sensitive people, and teens.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our initial sessions focus on your background, such as your family history, your culture, worldview, the obstacles you’re currently experiencing, your feelings and preferences, etc.
We then individualize your therapy experience. Depending on your needs, we may use an excel sheet to track and analyze your mood, behaviors, and thoughts. Or we may use worksheets to practice alternative thoughts and positive thinking. They will be simple, and I will provide clear instructions.
I like to be active with clients, because I like seeing your progress as much as you do!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe a person’s mental health is affected by numerous factors at the same time and is constantly changing. Even unseen forces — the subtle shifts in temperature, the changing seasons, spiritual practice, imagination, and the dark matter within and around us — can affect how we feel. I value everything about you and your world. We will work from where you are and walk, step by step, toward where you want to go.
