Counseling since 1987; (Masters, 1997).

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. While talking is the most obvious way for communication, I also love to incorporate our somatic experiences during sessions (with your agreement, of course). As an immigrant from Taiwan, it's also my mission to provide my expertise for people struggling with "fit in", while transitioning to any new environments.
I could list all my accomplishments from the past 30 years, but that wouldn't give you a true sense of my style or beliefs. I strive to empathize, be respectful, and remain non judgemental. We all face worries, stresses, and challenges daily, and we all need someone who listens and understands. While family and friends can provide wonderful support, talking to someone with professional expertise and an outside perspective can be incredibly beneficial.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing medication
management and therapy for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. I treat ADHD,
depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and related conditions. I also work with adults with autism
spectrum disorder and ADHD, providing diagnostic clarification and ongoing treatment within
general psychiatric care. I offer in-person and telehealth visits and focus on collaborative,

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Depression Therapist in Brookline, MA
Searching for therapists in Brookline starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience fit your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another method that fits what you are looking for.
Brookline has a strong mental health care community, but local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. If you are looking near Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, Brookline Village, or St. Paul Street, consider commute time, office location, and appointment times. Virtual therapy can also expand your options with Massachusetts-licensed therapists, especially if you need more flexibility. Before booking, review each profile for availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Brookline can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Brookline therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready.
