Coral Sun Therapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed to practice in North Carolina, New York, and New Jersey. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of California, Irvine in 2006, followed by a Master of Public Health from the University of Southern California in 2009, and a Master of Social Work from New York University in 2014.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals of all ages - from children and adolescents to adults - across diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am passionate about providing therapy in various formats, including individual, couples, and group sessions, as each setting offers unique opportunities for self-discovery and connection.

My specialties include working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, identity issues, and trauma. I also enjoy supporting those seeking personal growth, general guidance, or coaching to achieve their self-defined goals.

In addition to my work as a psychotherapist in community clinics, hospital outpatient programs, and college counseling centers, I have been dedicated to serving survivors of human trafficking since 2010. My work focuses on supporting foreign national massage workers in illicit massage parlors, advocating for their rights, and amplifying their voices within this often overlooked and vulnerable community.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State with years of experience working with clients across the lifespan, ranging from young children to older adults in community-based agencies and major hospital settings. I support individuals navigating self-esteem issues, identity exploration, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, always striving to create a safe, compassionate space where healing and growth can unfold.

I received my bachelor's degree in Communications with a minor in Psychology from UC San Diego in 2012 and earned my Master of Social Work from New York University in 2015. I am fluent in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Cantonese, and English.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with experience providing individual and group therapy to adults (18+) navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational concerns. I hold a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and am licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina. My clinical experience has spanned diverse settings, including community clinics and private practice, and I have had the privilege of working with clients across different cultural backgrounds.

I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and a strong psychodynamic foundation, integrating tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when helpful. I believe in exploring the deeper roots of emotional pain, while also offering practical support for managing everyday stressors. My areas of interest include trauma, attachment, identity development, and the nuanced experience of navigating multiple cultures.
