Getting to know Shumin Guo

Shumin Guo is a bilingual Mandarin-English therapist licensed in New York and New Jersey, with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through periods of emotional difficulty and transition. Her approach is thoughtful, integrative, and grounded in the belief that greater self-awareness can create meaningful possibilities for change. She works collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves, make intentional choices, and move beyond patterns that may no longer serve them. Shumin specializes in trauma, grief and loss, depression, and life transitions. She works with clients who may feel stuck in the past, overwhelmed by difficult emotions, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about what comes next. Drawing from Gestalt therapy, EMDR, DBT-informed practices, and culturally responsive care, she helps clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, bodies, and past experiences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, and depression, using an integrative approach that draws from Gestalt therapy, EMDR, DBT-informed practices. I help clients explore thoughts, emotions, bodily experiences, and patterns as they emerge in the present moment, while processing difficult experiences and understanding how the past shapes current responses. Together, we build awareness, self-compassion, and practical skills so you can respond with greater choice rather than automatically repeating old patterns.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I typically begin by getting to know you—your experiences, concerns, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Early sessions are an opportunity for us to build a comfortable and trusting relationship while exploring what may be contributing to your current challenges. As we get to know each other, I work collaboratively with you to identify an approach that fits your needs and goals. Depending on what feels most helpful, I may draw from different modalities, including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, and DBT-informed practices. I believe therapy should be individualized, so our sessions will evolve as you grow and your needs change.
