Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


You're an Asian man who desires authenticity, healing and transformation. My name is Samuel, and I help heart-centered, truth-seeking Asian men level up and become the best versions of themselves in their career, relationships and lives. Clients who work best with me have tried things like therapy, workshops, meditation, self-development, but haven't been able to crack the code on specific patterns that continue to sabotage one or two areas of their lives. After doing this for 15 years, I can confidently say that the work is simple, but not easy. It requires you to dive in, be vulnerable, and face things you haven't want to look at.
