“不怕长得慢，只怕站着不动”——中国谚语。

“不怕長得慢，只怕站著不動”——中國諺語。

The Asian American community faces several barriers to accessing quality mental health care, including the shortage of culturally diverse therapy and multilingual services.

At Madison Park Psychological Services, we want to bridge the gap between Asian Americans living in New York and the support they need to improve their well-being.  And that starts with our team. 

Our clinicians have the cultural competency and language capabilities to serve diverse populations, including Mandarin speaking clients.

If you are searching for a Mandarin speaking therapist who appreciates your heritage and has the knowledge, training, and language skills to assist you, we are happy to help.

 Our Mandarin Speaking Therapists Based in New York City

The Asian American population in the US is approximately 18.9 million and counting.  Yet, 30.9% are not fluent in English, and 73.5% speak a different language at home.  So, many Asian individuals may not feel as comfortable speaking, let alone going to therapy in English.

As an Asian American, you may endure additional obstacles to mental health support.  The stigma associated with psychological issues might make you keep them to yourself, deny them, or fear others’ opinions.  Admitting something is not ok may bring shame to yourself, your family, or your community, discouraging you from seeking help.  You might also equal emotional health with physical health or believe Western medicine is not the best option.

This hardship, along with acculturation problems, discrimination, financial strain, and the pressure to live up to the “model minority” stereotype, can keep you away from treatment.

We get it.  The road to healing might seem scary and risky now.  But you deserve exceptional care that considers your cultural identity and unique challenges, and we are here to provide it.

Our Asian American counselors include Mandarin speaking therapists who integrate talk therapy with Western and Eastern practices to help you navigate your concerns.  They offer treatment in your mother tongue, understand your traditions, and recognize your life experiences.

While having a culturally competent therapist who speaks your language may not address all the barriers you face, it can make therapy feel safer and less daunting. 

Conditions Treated by Our Mandarin Speaking Therapists

Our Mandarin speaking therapists can help you with various mental health challenges, including but not limited to:

Anxiety

Anxiety may cause physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual distress.  Let’s work together to discover its roots and contributing patterns so you can manage your symptoms and relish your life.

 Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can trigger heart palpitations, shortness of breath, shaking, and sweating, accompanied by an intense fear of losing control, fainting, or dying.  Stop ignoring these terrifying experiences and learn how to overcome them.

 Depression

Depression is a severe mood disorder that may prevent you from studying, working, interacting, or engaging in everyday activities—even those you used to cherish.  Therapy offers a safe environment to regain hope and self-worth and embrace healthier habits.

Relationship Problems

Relationships can be thrilling yet difficult to navigate.  Our therapists will guide you to solve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen trust and intimacy to maintain wholesome bonds.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Are you having obsessive thoughts that lead to compulsive behaviors?  You might feel the urge to act a certain way to calm these intrusive ideas or prevent a specific outcome, thus entering a dangerous cycle.  Therapy can help you understand what’s behind these obsessions and compulsions and adopt better coping strategies.

Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Painful experiences may remain unresolved, leaving devastating thoughts, emotions, and sensations behind.  Trauma therapy invites you to confront these open wounds with compassion and supports you in finding effective avenues to heal.

Types of Therapy Our Mandarin Speaking Therapists Provide

Our Mandarin speaking therapists are trained to offer different therapeutic modalities, including:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy can help you manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and many other conditions.  It’s a gold-standard treatment that examines the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to replace distorted lines of thinking, shift unhelpful patterns, and relieve your symptoms.

Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy fuses CBT concepts with four fundamental skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.  The purpose is to learn how to focus on the present moment, handle distress, control your emotions, and bolster your relational skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another form of CBT that incorporates six core processes: acceptance, defusion, contacting the present moment, self as context, values, and committed action.  The objective is to enhance your psychological flexibility to address your challenges.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy aims to take a close look at your subconscious, history, experiences, and relationships to awaken deep insight into yourself and the root of your concerns.  We’ll help you connect the dots, create positive change, and adopt practical coping strategies.

Holistic/Body-Mind-Spirit Therapy

Holistic therapy seeks to treat your entire self—body, mind, and spirit.  We’ll explore how these components interact with one another and offer tools, techniques, and referrals to integrate them for sustained wellness. 

Working With Our Mandarin Speaking Therapists

You’ll start your journey by booking a consultation.  This is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you, discuss your concerns and what you seek in therapy.  Feel free to share any particular therapeutic preferences and expectations.  We’ll also explain our counseling services, rates, and other logistical details to ensure you have all the necessary information.

If we decide to work together, we’ll introduce you to one of our Mandarin speaking therapists.  They will meet with you regularly, establishing the cadence, schedule, and treatment modality that works best for you and gets you closer to your goals.
