Upper West Side Treatment for Anxiety
Personalized evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults
Chiaying Wei, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. The office is located in the Upper Westside. Her practice is firmly rooted in evidence-based treatments (i.e., cognitive behavior therapy, "CBT "). A CBT trained clinician, her approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in scientific evidence. CBT is based on the idea that one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By changing the way you think, it will likely change the way you approach things, and consequently, change how you feel.
Dr. Wei specializes in anxiety, depression, and related disorders. She emphasizes cultivating insight in therapy and integrates acceptance, mindfulness-based, and interpersonal/dynamic oriented techniques. Her work often underlines the importance of family and sociocultural influences on one’s experiences. Additionally, she takes on a “wellness” perspective to promote mind-body health and help one live a healthy, balanced life. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) specializing in meditation, and prenatal and therapeutic yoga
