“I came to therapy with Yun after a breakup, completely convinced I was the problem. Replaying every conversation, every text, every “what if”? That was me. From the start, Yun gave me space to vent without ever making me feel like too much. Eventually, she helped me challenge the story that everything was my fault and reminded me that feeling isn’t weakness, it’s healing. The work hasn’t always been easy (she keeps it real), but it’s been worth every single session.”

“Yun has a very thoughtful and intentional approach to her practice with patients. She really takes the time to get to know people outside of their traumas and challenges and I love how she also highlights individual strengths and moments of growth. I appreciate her emphasis on holistic wellness with attention paid to multicultural components of identity, as this makes room for a patient to be as open as they can be. Not only is Yun nonjudgmental, compassionate, and warm, but she is also open to critique and applies this feedback to better herself as a professional and a human being!”

Getting to know Yun Mei
Yun Mei, M.S.Ed., LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that therapy should be a space where you can be honest about what you are experiencing without having to minimize, justify, or make yourself easier for others to understand. She earned her Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Stony Brook University.
Ms. Mei specializes in working with clients navigating complex trauma, low self-esteem, relationship and attachment concerns, women’s issues, personality-related concerns, and first-generation and multicultural experiences. She has experience supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, difficult family dynamics, trauma and past experiences, relationship conflicts, identity concerns, and major life transitions.
Ms. Mei's approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Ms. Mei works collaboratively with each client to understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped who they are today. She believes that many of the thoughts, behaviors, and coping strategies people struggle with once served a purpose, and that understanding where those patterns come from can create the foundation for meaningful change.
Ms. Mei strives to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe, warm, and genuinely nonjudgmental. She approaches her work with curiosity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, while also helping clients challenge patterns that may no longer be serving them. As a Chinese American woman, she understands that identity, family expectations, culture, and the pressure to navigate multiple worlds can profoundly shape a person’s sense of self and relationships. She brings awareness of these intersections into her work while honoring that every client’s experience is uniquely their own.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You do not have to show up to therapy with everything figured out. You can come as you are—even if you are confused, overwhelmed, guarded, frustrated, or not entirely sure what you need yet.
I believe that many of the ways we think, behave, and relate to others developed for a reason. Sometimes those patterns helped us cope, protect ourselves, or navigate environments where we did not have much choice. Understanding where those patterns came from can be an important part of understanding yourself, but insight is only the beginning. Our work will also focus on what you want to do differently moving forward.
My style is warm, collaborative, curious, and honest. I will not judge you for your experiences, but I also will not simply tell you what you want to hear. When appropriate, I will gently challenge you, ask difficult questions, and help you look at things from a different perspective.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
There is no perfect way to start therapy. In our initial sessions, we will talk about what brought you in, what has been happening in your life, and what you would like to understand or change. I will ask questions to get a fuller picture of your experiences, relationships, history, and current concerns.
Over time, sessions may look different depending on what you need. We might unpack something that happened during the week, explore a recurring relationship pattern, process a difficult experience, challenge an unhelpful belief, or simply slow down and understand what you are feeling.
I will help guide the process without taking control of it. Therapy is collaborative, and we will continually assess what feels useful and what may need to change.

Yun will give you the space to release and get things off your chest. Then when the time is right, she will begin to challenge on what role you play in life situations. She's very knowledgeable and understanding and will push you to be your best self. Yun is the perfect therapist for someone that is ready to put in the work.

This was my first time, doing anything psychotherapy related, and I so I went in with no expectations. I was happy to know she listened a lot, and I even asked her at the end her method of helping if she just gives advice off of what she knows or if she allows me to just speak. She said she asks the right questions so I am able to pull problem and then solve as I go.
