Getting to know Shengzi Sun
It’s about you. And it’s about you realizing you have it all within you.
I believe everyone has the potential to achieve their life goals. Therapy is a journey where we explore your inner world, recognize your power from within, and embrace your true self. We are companions in this journey. Together, we will work to overcome barriers to your ideal future. I integrate Person-Centered Counseling, Gestalt therapy, Narrative psychotherapy, Existential theories, and relational approaches to support your growth.
I have worked with teenagers, adults, and couples facing various mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, primary family issues, trauma, life transition and adjustment difficulties, and addiction. I am particularly passionate about supporting bilingual populations from culturally diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate the system and thrive in their own ways.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to your unique needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Most people who I work with are young adults from diverse cultural backgrounds who go through major life transitions, and are interested in looking inward and find their own paths in life. However, I genuinely welcome all of my potential clients. I see therapy as a journey where both my clients and I are each other's companion in a certain period of our life. No matter which stages you are in life, I welcome you in the space.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that therapy is about guiding people to connect with themselves so they can connect with others and the world. Therapy is about holding a space for people to feel the emotions that they felt so scared to feel by themselves, and to explore ways to "swim with their own sharks" with a companion. It’s not about me as a therapist making the most insightful comments, or giving the “best” solutions. It’s about holding a space for people who are in the room, and be with them when they are confused, sad, angry, hopeless, and still hold a compassionate and faithful space for them to find their own answers. So, if you are looking for direct advice giving or life coaching, we may not be a good fit. But if you are interested in connecting with yourself and the world in a deeper way, and exploring your own answers, I am here to be with you.

Ongoing session: $20-300 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
