About Jenn Zhang

Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an MA in Counseling from New York University.

 

​As a therapist, I work primarily with children of immigrants, Asian-Americans, and AAPI-identifying clients, though I welcome individuals from all backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients explore any parts or identities that conflict with each other, whether that shows up intra- and/or interpersonally. Together we can unpack these emotional complexities and find a path forward that feels true to who you are.

​

As the daughter of immigrant parents, I can deeply relate to the challenges of navigating multiple cultural expectations, especially when they seem to pull you in different directions. This internal conflict can often leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain about our place in the world. It can also lead to struggles with guilt, shame, and self-doubt, as we try to reconcile what we feel with what we think we "should" be.

​

I commit to teaching self-compassion and learning to honor the varying parts of you. When we acknowledge our limitations with kindness, we can move toward true self-love and acceptance. When you're ready, we will focus on moving toward greater balance and authenticity.

 
Services

I am a trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist combining Psychodynamic, Narrative, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR modalities. I see myself as a collaborative partner where trust and rapport are the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. Through this, we can better process experiences with a more compassionate outlook.

EMDR Therapy

45 - 60 minute sessions

​

Eye Movement Desensitazation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is different than talk therapy, having an emphasis on reducing the power of traumatic memories. This is a structured approach that can help alleviate the distress of negative memories and facilitate reprocessing in a safe and controlled space. Over time, your emotions connected to these memories should lower in intensity and cause less pain in the present.

Couples Therapy

45 minute sessions

​

Couples therapy is about identifying the unique dance between two partners that may be creating patterns of resentment, distrust, lack of intimacy, and fear. Using skills such as mirroring and validating language, couples can create a space where each person feels truly seen and heard by their partner. In creating newfound emotional intimacy, communication, trust, and appreciation can improve.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does starting therapy with you look like?
    We would start with a free 15-30 minute consultation to discuss your therapeutic goals and what you are looking for in a therapist. I want to ensure that I'm able to provide the support you need and that you feel comfortable with me, the consultation goes both ways! The first session would be a 45 minute Intake covering your background and history. All sessions are conducted via Zoom.
  • Are you accepting new clients?
    Updated Jan 2025: Yes! Feel free to reach out and we can schedule a consultation and find general session times that work for both of us.
  • How do out-of-network benefits work?
    Some insurance plans cover out-of-network benefits and you can receive substantial reimbursement for treatment once you reach your deductible. You should contact your insurance provider to see what your out-of-network coverage for mental health services is (they will ask for a billing/CPT code which is 90834), how much of your deductible you have remaining, and the amount that they will reimburse for sessions. If you choose to use out-of-network benefits, I will send you a signed invoice for our sessions (referred to as a "superbill") to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. My rate for out-of-network sessions range from $175 - $250.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    To avoid any charges, all cancellations or requests to reschedule must be made no later than 24 hours before your confirmed appointment time. If we are able to find a new time to reschedule within the same calendar week, you will not be charged the late fee. If this becomes a pattern, we will discuss a new appointment time overall that works better for your schedule.
