“Stephanie helped me learn so much about myself, in just a few short sessions. Each of our four sessions had a valuable lesson, followed by homework for each week. This included minor tweaks and changes to my daily routine. It’s amazing how impactful the smallest changes can make in your life. I can honestly say I’m a changed man. We uncovered the challenges that were holding me back from achieving my goals, and created a game plan to surpass them. I’m well on my way to a very fulfilling life for myself, and my family, and I have Stephanie to thank for that.”

“Stephanie helped me see my situations in a new, more positive light. She has so much knowledge and I felt like I could open up to her about anything, even if I didn’t exactly know what I was feeling or how to express it. I can’t speak highly enough of Stephanie and her abilities to not only listen so closely to everything I’m saying, but to understand it and respond in ways that help me feel at ease and see a new perspective. I’m so grateful to have worked with her and I encourage you to do the same!”

Getting to know Stephanie Lin

Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my practice focuses on supporting sensitive people to get in touch with themselves so that they can live an authentic and fulfilling life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-confidence, addiction issues, relationship challenges, or the impact of childhood and intergenerational trauma, I’m here to hold a compassionate space for you to process your emotions, get to know yourself more deeply, and create a lifestyle that feels good to you. I am a MHC-LP therapist with Master's degrees in both Mental Health Counseling and Buddhist Studies.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy with a new person can feel intimidating, and I honor your courage to dive into this process with me. Our work will always follow a pace that you determine, and touch the depth that you are ready for and agree to. I hold a safe space to listen to your needs, support you with emotional processing, and offer a wide range of tools and practices that can help resolve various challenges and build a healthy mindset and relationship to self and others. As a first-generation Chinese American, born to immigrants in NYC, I can relate to carrying the weight of the past and feeling overwhelmed by outside pressures. Through my own studies, spiritual growth, and healing journey (supported by many people) over the years, I’ve learned how to release pain, move through challenges, and live authentically. My passion is helping others do the same. I’ve also lived abroad for many years in Hawaii, Israel, China and Taiwan, and these experiences shape my worldview and openness to alternative ways of thinking and being. I’m wholly affirming of all expressions of gender and sexuality, and each person’s unique path.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session begins with getting to know you holistically, and supporting you to articulate a vision for how you’d ideally like your life to look and feel a few months from now. From here, we create manageable goals that can involve both reducing harmful habits and engaging in new positive actions. While much of the work happens outside of the therapy space through micro-changes and consistency, our time together is largely for processing stuck feelings in the body (fear, grief, anger, shame), identifying and releasing limited beliefs inherited from family and society (“I’m not enough” “I must stay strong”), and addressing lifestyle stressors (addictive behaviors, overwork, lack of rest, imbalanced relationships). I look forward to supporting you!

Working with Stephanie truly changed my life in a deep and lasting way. She helped me access parts of myself that I didn’t even know existed. Her presence, her voice, and the way she holds space are very special, and they stayed with me even beyond our time working together.
I felt comfortable talking with Vanessa about things that weren’t always easy to share. She made it feel natural to open up, and I never felt like I had to hold back.
I met Stephanie at a time when I felt I was losing touch with myself personally and professionally. I immediately warmed to her approach - subtle, inquisitive, empathic and very focused. The way she started each of our sessions by meditating was relaxing and grounding. Together we established clear plans and saw tremendous progress over the weeks. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone who reaches a point in life which is blurry, unpleasant or plain difficult.
Stephanie taught me how to look at things in a completely different perspective. Her guidance has been invaluable. She is completely non-judgmental, and fundamentally changed my life.
Stephanie combines a relaxed nature and close listening with questions that cut right to the heart of your deep-seated beliefs, your way of thinking, and your perception of yourself. Our 7 weeks of working together brought tangible impacts. I now see my power to choose thoughts, and I’ve experienced much better results in my life.
My connection with Stephanie helped clear years of debris that I was buried under. Her calm, insightful and empathetic approach created a supportive environment to rebuild my foundations. She helped pave the way for me to be authentic again.
Stephanie helped me through a major transition period in my life. I didn’t expect to come out feeling the polar opposite of how I did when I began, but I was relieved and happy that I did. It was intense work but I always felt safe and supported. Her impressive range of tools and intuitive guidance made every session so valuable. Thank you Stephanie.
Stephanie is a patient listener, a thoughtful and intellectual counselor, and an enabler who helps you see the best in yourself. In our busy, fast-paced world, we often don’t get the time to self-reflect and self-assess. Stephanie challenged and guided me through this process patiently and step-by-step. The sessions were empowering, and I would highly recommend!
