About
Hi, I'm Cheryl.
I'm a Columbia-trained psychotherapist licensed in New York (LMHC-D), New Jersey (LPC), and Texas (LPC), offering online therapy in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese.
Licensed under the legal name Wei-Yuan Chen · NY LMHC-D #016847 · NJ LPC #37PC01221400 · TX LPC #103674
I help people who seem fine on the outside but feel stuck inside. Maybe anxiety will not settle, the same relationship pattern keeps coming back, or life just feels heavier than it should.

Approach
"Therapy should help you understand what is happening and give you something useful to take with you."
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you understand your patterns and build practical tools. Sessions are warm, steady, and focused.
As a trilingual therapist fluent in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, I bring cultural understanding to my work, especially for Asian-American clients navigating life between cultures.

The same patterns keep happening

You want therapy that feels useful
You want warmth and insight, but you also want therapy to be clear, practical, and grounded in real life.
