Wei-Yuan Chen, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor

On the outside, you may look like you’re holding it together, but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Whether you are navigating relationship stress, life transitions, postpartum challenges, or the exhaustion of chronic sleep issues, I am here to help. I provide virtual therapy for teens and adults throughout New York and New Jersey, offering a convenient and flexible space for your healing. I specialize in treating anxiety, nightmares, and insomnia, and I offer evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help you finally get the rest you need. I accept insurance and look forward to supporting you in moving forward. My style is warm, direct, and grounded. In therapy, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, understand the patterns that keep showing up, and focus on small, realistic changes that actually fit your life. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people feel clearer, steadier, and more connected to what matters most.

If sleep has become a nightly struggle, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-I) offers a more focused and effective approach than general talk therapy. I offer CBT-I for chronic insomnia and sleep problems and unlike many providers who offer this specialty, I also accept insurance. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based treatment that can help with trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early and the stress that builds around sleep. Feel free to book a free consultation with me!

I often work well with people who are hard on themselves, struggle to slow their minds down, feel emotionally exhausted, or find themselves repeating patterns they do not fully understand.

A past negative therapy experience can make it harder to reach out again. You may have felt unheard, emotionally unsafe, or like the process did not really help. I welcome those conversations, and I think it is important for therapy to feel like a place where your experience, feedback, and comfort actually matter.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and one important factor is whether you feel comfortable being real with them. Beyond training and experience, it can be helpful to notice whether their style feels like a good match for your needs, personality, and goals. Feeling supported, understood, and gently challenged can make a big difference.
