Wendi Jia, LMHC

Hello everyone! My name is Wendi. I’m a licensed mental health counselor in NY. With 7 years of practical experience, I support adults and adolescents through life transitions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and trauma. I offer a safe and collaborative space where you can explore your emotions, deepen self-understanding, and move toward the life you want. I would encourage you to define wellness and progress for yourself.

Let’s imagine a scene where you are walking toward a narrow, half meter-wide single-plank bridge, suspended over a turbulent, dangerous river. You might feel anxious—afraid of falling, unsure if there’s another way to cross, or worried about being pushed by others. You may freeze, hesitate, or avoid the journey altogether. But if the same narrow path were on solid ground, you'd likely cross it with ease!

Living a life often feels like crossing that suspended bridge—full of uncertainty, responsibilities, and internal obstacles. I see psychotherapy as a courageous step toward regaining your footing. It’s an invitation to do something different and to open yourself to new experiences and perspectives. You could feel more grounded and empowered rather than suspended when your inner world expands. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative and person-centered with deep appreciation in exploring existential themes. I incorporate psychodynamic insights, strength-based strategies, and practical tools from CBT/ACT/DBT. I listen thoughtfully, ask reflective questions, and help you recognize the stories you’ve been telling yourself. I’m bilingual in English and Mandarin and attuned to the unique layers of cultural identity, immigration, and belonging. My background in engineering, which emphasized structure, balance, and efficiency, also helps me understand the mind and apply considered methods by blending analytical thinking with emotional awareness.

I believe everyone can discover their own path through reflection, action, and creativity. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn about the mystery of you. My hope is that, together, we can go to a place where you trust yourself, just as you choose to trust the therapy process.
