Asian American Therapy in

New York City

Find clarity, connection, and confidence with culturally responsive therapy tailored for Asian American experiences.

You’re Tired of Feeling Misunderstood or Not Good Enough

As an Asian American living in New York City, you’ve likely carried the weight of expectations, cultural tensions, and unspoken emotions for years.

Maybe you’re...

  • Constantly overthinking every decision or interaction

  • Feeling anxious or “not enough” despite your achievements

  • Struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, or burnout

  • Trying to meet family expectations while craving freedom to be yourself

  • Wrestling with cultural identity and feeling like you don’t fully fit

  • Navigating complex dynamics in dating, friendships, or family life

  • Feeling emotionally distant from others and unsure how to open up

You might have learned early on to put others first, suppress your emotions, or stay silent to keep the peace.

But now, that silence feels isolating and not self-honoring.

The masks you wear are exhausting.

You're ready for something different.

You Don’t Have to Carry This By Yourself

Without the right professional support, these feelings can grow heavier.

You might continue:

  • Questioning your worth or place in the world

  • Feeling like an outsider—culturally, emotionally, or socially

  • Struggling to make decisions or trust yourself

  • Repeating painful patterns in relationships or work

But you don’t have to keep pushing through.

You don’t have to avoid.

Therapy can help you overcome feelings of invisibility, be more confident in yourself and in your relationships

Asian American therapy services offered at Resonance Psychology in NYC provides a safe, affirming space to slow down, speak freely, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Imagine being able to:

  • Understand how cultural and familial dynamics have shaped your identity

  • Express your emotions without guilt or fear of judgment

  • Break free from perfectionism or people-pleasing

  • Set healthier boundaries in light of the cultural worlds you live in

  • Feel more empowered in your relationships

  • Let go of “shoulds” and live in alignment with your true self

  • Explore your past with compassion and reshape your future with intention

This kind of healing is possible.

We’re here to provide culturally-attuned professional support tailored to your unique identities and experiences.
