Xiuyun(Sharon) Miao, LCSW

Hello, lovely people! I’m Sharon, a licensed bilingual psychotherapist with over ten years of counseling experience working with children and adults from bicultural backgrounds. My current work focuses on adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

You may look like you’re holding everything together while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, questioning your worth, or repeating painful relationship patterns. You may also be navigating grief, change, or the tension between your own needs and family or cultural expectations.

I believe therapy is about more than relieving distress. It is also a space to understand your experiences, make room for the full range of your emotions, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Together, we can explore how past experiences shape present patterns, recognize your strengths, and find ways to express your needs and build meaningful connections.

My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. Grounded in psychodynamic therapy, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on your needs. Having grown up in China, I bring particular attention to immigrant experiences, cross-cultural identity, family expectations, and intergenerational patterns, especially in my work with Asian, Asian American, and other BIPOC individuals. I offer therapy in English and Mandarin.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before seeking support. We can start with what feels most important to you and move at your pace, creating space for self-understanding, connection, and choices that reflect what matters to you. I offer in-person sessions in NYC and online therapy across New York, New Jersey, and California. Please contact the clinic to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can explore your needs and whether we’re a good fit.
