PSYCHOTHERAPIST IN NEW YORK CITY
You’ve been translating yourself your whole life. You can stop here.
Bicultural. High-functioning. Quietly exhausted.
Therapy in NYC that actually gets it.

Take a Breath
That feeling sitting somewhere between burnout and anxiety, that's you holding it together for everyone else and quietly falling apart for yourself.
The anxiety won't slow down. The overthinking won't stop. You're the one everyone leans on and nobody checks on, or maybe you're afraid to ask for help because where you come from, asking meant you weren't strong enough to handle it on your own.
You feel in between. Between cultures, between versions of yourself, between the person everyone sees and the one you actually are. Like you don't quite fit anywhere and you can't explain why because most people in your life don't even realize there's a gap.
This is a space where your whole self belongs.
Hi, I'm Suyana.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker in New York City. I'm biracial, the daughter of immigrants, and I know what it feels like to exist between worlds. That lived experience is at the center of how I practice.
I work with high-achieving professionals and creatives who identify as biracial, Latine, BIPOC, multicultural, or first and second-generation.
People who are tired of translating themselves and ready to be understood without having to explain from the beginning.
My work is relational, warm, and honest.
We go deep.
And we don't skip the cultural stuff, because that's not extra.
It's essential.
I work with people who are carrying more than they let on:
-
First and second-generation Lantine and BIPOC adults
holding the weight of their family's sacrifices alongside their own ambitions.
-
High achievers
who are exhausted from performing competence while quietly questioning everything underneath.
-
Latine, BIPOC, and biracial multicultural individuals
looking for a therapist who already gets it without explaining.
-
Adults in their 20s and 30s
trying to figure out who they actually are versus who everyone else needed them to be.
-
People with ADHD
who are brilliant, creative, and doing the most but still feel like they're "behind."
-
The strong ones
The ones who hold everyone else together. The ones nobody checks on.
-
People who are starting to realize
that success shouldn't cost them their sense of self.
The work we actually get into
Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. Wondering whether you are too much, not enough, or somehow both. Obsessing over every decision. Living between cultures, identities, expectations, or versions of yourself. Maybe the life you built looks successful from the outside but no longer feels aligned on the inside. You do not fit neatly into one box, and you are tired of trying.

Anxiety & Chronic Overthinking
The racing thoughts that turn one conversation into hours of replaying. We get underneath what your anxiety is protecting and learn how to float through it instead of fighting it.

Bicultural & Multicultural Identity
You have learned to hold more than one identity at once, even when the world keeps asking you to choose a side. We make room for the whole of you, without asking you to prove where you belong or shrink any part of yourself.

Identity Exploration & Life Transitions
Who are you when you're not performing for everyone else? When the roles shift and the script you've been following doesn't fit anymore, we make sense of the in-between.

Attachment Patterns & Relationship Dynamics
Why closeness feels complicated. Why you give everything and still feel invisible. We trace the line from your earliest relationships to the patterns showing up right now.

Burnout & the Weight of Being "The Capable One"
You're doing the most, always, and it never feels like enough. We look at the emotional cost of high performance and the cultural narratives that taught you rest is earned.

Perfectionism, Self-Worth & Inner Critic Work
That voice saying you're still not doing enough probably started as protection. We figure out where it came from, what it needed, and how to stop letting it run things.

ADHD in High-Functioning Adults
Your brain is wired differently. That's real. We work through the exhaustion of masking and the shame of feeling "behind" without reducing you to a diagnosis.
A place to pause in a city that never does.
You've been looking for a room where all of you fits. This is it.
01. Reach Out
No pressure. Just a real conversation to see if this feels right.
02. We Meet
I get to know your world, your story, your culture, and what you've been carrying.
03. we go deep
We untangle the patterns that keep you stuck and sit with the stuff you haven’t said out loud yet.
04. you come home to yourself
You stop performing, stop translating, and start living as the person you’ve always been underneath it all.
