Welcome to Mindful Roots Collective…
Where your lived experience is seen, your voice is heard, and your story and roots are held with care and intention.
Hi there,
I’m Mandy!
Clinical Social Worker,
Music Therapist in NYC
Fluent in English,
Cantonese & Mandarin
If you’re here because….
On the outside, things look “fine,” but inside you feel tired, lost, or disconnected?
You hold yourself to high standards but constantly feel like you’re not good enough?
You find yourself often wanting connection and depth in your relationships, yet are left feeling drained and wondering why it never seems to work out for you?
You’re looking for a therapist that understands cultural nuances, and sees you as more than a list of symptoms or diagnoses?
You’re in the right place.
I offer individual, EMDR, and music therapy for adults from all walks of life, with a heartfelt commitment to serving:
Asian-American and BIPOC communities, immigrants, international students, empaths/highly-sensitive people (HSP), and high-achieving professionals.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself, I’m here to offer steady support and a collaborative space where we can unpack things together…
One step at a time.
