Hi, my name is Zi. I’m a licensed psychotherapist and a Professor of Psychology & Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.

If you are reading this as, chances are, you’ve tried just about everything and still feel angry, depressed, lonely, and overwhelmed.

My therapeutic style is dynamic, genuine, and practical. I like to call it out with kindness when you are going off track, I will give you encouragement when you are making positive progress, I will also give you tangible and intangible skills to make progress. My aim is to help you focus on the process of self improvement, identify unhealthy patterns, and understand the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Many of my patients report increased awareness, shorter recovery time from being triggered to “back to normal” mood, feeling generally less brittle and more confident. I enjoy providing a healthy balance of compassion, accountability, guidance, laughter, insight, and homework in order for you to make lasting, positive changes. Feel free to reach out to me via email and set up a free pre-screening call (5-15 minutes): Zi@ziwangmhcs.com
