Elaine Lo
Introduction
I believe that everyone deserves a therapist who upholds their intersectional identities and lived experiences. One of my core tenets, as a therapist, is to see clients’ challenges–whether anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or identity exploration–in the context of structural oppression rather than individual flaws. As a mental health practitioner with a passion for supporting women of color, queer, AAPI, and BIPOC folks, I am energized by helping clients create more fulfilling and authentic connections with themselves and their communities. I approach my therapeutic work with a balance between support and warm challenges. I acknowledge that you are the expert of yourself, and have full agency in the pace we go at. I am a queer, Taiwanese American woman and child of immigrants originally from the Pacific Northwest, and based in New York City for the last decade. I was drawn to this work as someone who has experienced firsthand how mental health is intertwined with systemic oppression, and how therapy can help lift some of its internalized burden. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Hunter College and draw from psychodynamic, relational, anti-oppressive, and somatic lenses. Whether you aim to process past experiences, reconnect to your body and sense of self, unlearn oppressive patterns and narratives, or build more trust and intimacy in your relationships, I invite you to reach out to me.
