Counseling for Anxious Adults and High-Achievers in New York
You are driven, motivated, and have high aspirations. At the same time, you are sensitive, hyper-aware, and quick to sense problems and shortcomings before others do. You have what it takes to succeed, but you often feel overwhelmed by past failures and the fear of falling short again. In response, you try to control outcomes, hoping to meet everyone's expectations. Despite your past achievements, you are hard on yourself and continue to operate out of fear and overdrive to satisfy others' demands.
You frequently feel underappreciated and resentful at times for all that you’ve carried. Insecurity lingers, and you hesitate to express your needs or discontent. You fear criticism, rejection, or disappointment if you reveal your true feelings and desires. Even though you've sacrificed so much to maintain peace, you still worry about letting others down.
You feel out of balance and rarely at ease. Eventually, you shut down and numb yourself, dreading that unresolved problems will continue to pile up. Yet before long, you return to the grind, convinced that things won’t improve unless you keep giving. You are generous and self-motivated, but by now, you just want to live without the constant fear of disappointing others. Deep down, you long for a more fulfilling and balanced life. You yearn to celebrate living authentically and nurturing the dreams, relationships, and values that truly matter to you.
How I Help You Get Unstuck And Living Your Potential
Hello, I'm Dr. Joyce Yung, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City. My work focuses on supporting high-achieving individuals and adults who struggle with anxiety, and helping them reconnect with their calm, clarity, and self-mastery. With years of experience in guiding clients toward meaningful goals, I offer counseling that fosters healthy self-expression, inner peace, and lasting transformation.
Using a combination of cutting-edge neurobiological and trauma-informed approaches, we’ll delve into the roots of your anxiety and dismantle survival-based responses to undo stuck beliefs, emotions, and patterns that hold you back. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, systems-relational, and energy psychology methods to activate your inherent strengths so that healing feels natural and accelerated. Our work will simultaneously focus on tangible actions, goals, and relationships that align with your true self. My customized methods will help you experience peace and awe as you uplevel and meet new milestones. Many clients frequently report feeling a renewed sense of curiosity and admiration in themselves and others, which compels them to actualize their dreams with more courage, trust, and openness. They also feel more ease, empowerment, and aligned with their auethentic vision and achievements. You, too, can experience this inner peace and powerful connection as you move forward on your journey and personal endeavours.
