Zhaojie Wei | Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) / Supervisor

Bilingual Psychotherapy

Zhaojie Wei is a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York, offering deeply reflective and culturally attuned psychotherapy for people navigating complex emotional and relational landscapes. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Zhaojie provides an integrative, insight-oriented therapeutic space designed for people seeking profound self-exploration and sustainable psychological growth.

Areas of Clinical Focus

• Anxiety & Depressive Disorders: Navigating chronic worry, low mood, existential fatigue, and the quiet weight of perfectionism.

• Trauma & PTSD: Processing past developmental or situational trauma, healing from acute distress, and re-establishing a sense of internal safety.

• Complex Family Dynamics & Intergenerational Conflict: Untangling the invisible loyalties, inherited expectations, and relational patterns shaped by family systems.

• ADHD & Neurodivergence: Untangling the emotional and executive functioning challenges unique to neurodivergent adults in high-pressure environments.

• Acculturation & Identity Integration: Exploring the subtle, profound tensions of immigrant experiences, cross-cultural transitions, and the friction between differing cultural values.

Therapeutic Philosophy & Modalities

Zhaojie views psychotherapy not merely as symptom reduction, but as an exploratory journey toward self-awareness and authenticity. Her clinical approach is grounded in the belief that psychological distress often stems from unrecognized patterns, internalized beliefs, and a disconnection from one’s core emotional truth.

Drawing from a robust foundation of advanced training, Zhaojie tailors her modalities to the distinct needs of each individual:

• Psychodynamic & Relational Perspectives: Examining how past formative experiences, family history, and unconscious patterns shape current emotional responses and relationship dynamics.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reframing rigid cognitive loops and self-critical thought patterns.

• Expressive & Somatic Interventions (Art Therapy & Positive Psychology): Utilizing creative and strength-based dimensions to access material that words alone cannot always capture, fostering resilience and self-compassion.

Professional Background & Credentials

Zhaojie earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from institutions in China before completing her Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University (NYU). As a bicultural clinician, she possesses an innate sensitivity to the nuances of cultural displacement, minority stress, and the psychological impact of navigating multiple worlds.
