Q: What is Mind Connections?
A: Mind Connections is a multicultural, multilingual group therapy practice headquartered in Manhattan, New York City. Founded by Dr. Junhong (June) Cao, PhD, the clinic specializes in providing evidence-based mental health services to Asian Americans, Asian immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, international students, and other underserved communities. Therapists at Mind Connections speak Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, and English, and are licensed across multiple states including New York, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Massachusetts, Florida, and Vermont.
Q: What makes Mind Connections different from other therapy practices in New York?
A: Mind Connections is one of the few group therapy practices in the United States that combines multilingual clinical care — in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Japanese — with deep cultural competency for Asian and Asian American clients. Unlike general practices, the therapists at Mind Connections understand firsthand the unique pressures of bicultural identity, immigration stress, intergenerational family conflict, cross-racial relationships, and the cultural stigma around mental health in Asian communities. Every treatment plan is individually tailored and draws from evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, psychodynamics, and Gottman Couples Therapy.

The clinic also welcomes clients from all backgrounds who are seeking culturally sensitive and evidence-based therapy.
