Getting to know Yi Zhu

Hi, I'm Yi, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from New York University and extensive experience in helping adolescents and adults overcome a range of challenges. My therapeutic focus includes, but is not limited to, addressing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, and personal growth. I firmly believe that each individual's journey is unique, and my client-centered approach is tailored to help you discover your own insights and strengths. One aspect that sets my practice apart is my deep commitment to multicultural perspectives. Coming from a new immigrant background, I am sensitive to the importance of culture, identity, and belonging in the therapy process. You can trust that I will honor your cultural values and heritage while also helping you navigate any cultural conflicts or adjustments that may arise. It's important to know that therapy is not just about addressing problems; it's also a space for reflection, self-discovery, and personal growth. We will work together to uncover your strengths and capabilities, helping you develop the tools you need to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with me, it's important to know that our therapeutic journey is deeply personalized and collaborative. Our initial sessions focus on understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, your expectations, your specific goals and building therapeutic relationships. I encourage active participation and a willingness to engage in self-exploration and growth. Progress in therapy is not solely about practical problem-solving; it often involves facing deep-seated issues and bearing with uncomfortable emotions. In our therapeutic journey, I'll be there to deeply empathize and provide unwavering support, but you can also expect moments when I challenge you and engage in difficult conversations. I'll be your ally and guide as we navigate these complexities together. While I typically don't assign homework, I may occasionally recommend books or movies that can provide additional insight or provoke meaningful reflection. This can be a valuable supplement to our therapeutic discussions, offering new perspectives and opportunities for self-discovery.
