Getting to know Yuan Lin

A conversation ends, but your mind keeps replaying it. Did you say too much, sound awkward, or give someone a reason to pull away? Social anxiety and fear of rejection can make dating, friendships, and work exhausting, so you hold back your needs, people-please, or hide parts of yourself to be accepted. I help adults, especially LGBTQ+, Asian, immigrant, and first-generation clients, with social anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and family or cultural expectations. Together, we'll understand what keeps you on guard and build connections where you can speak up and be more fully yourself. As a queer, Singaporean Chinese immigrant and former international student, I know belonging can be complicated, and I won't assume our stories are the same. I draw on psychodynamic, cognitive, and Gestalt approaches, balancing reflection with practical tools. My style is warm, curious, and collaborative. You decide if and when we talk about identity. I offer LGBTQ+-affirming online therapy for adults across New York. Sessions are in English, and I also speak conversational Mandarin. Insurance and a sliding scale are available. You don't need the right words or a label to start. Book or just reach out to me, and we'll begin with what feels possible.
