Amy Huang
Amy Huang is an Asian therapist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who has the capacity to provide therapy in both Cantonese Chinese and English. As a child of two Chinese immigrants, she has firsthand experience navigating the complexities of cultural identity, addressing intergenerational expectations, and learning to embrace her roots. This personal journey fuels her dedication to serving first-generation American and BIPOC communities, where she strives to break down the stigmas that often surround mental health.
Amy uses a therapy approach that is warm, person-centered, and collaborative, to help clients break down mental health stigma to address symptoms for anxiety, depression, as well as relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and life transitions. She also has a passion for helping adult children of immigrants and individuals who identify as bi-cultural. She is committed to creating a culturally affirming and non-judgmental therapy relationship that creates space for people to feel heard, respected, and validated. Amy believes in the importance of meeting each individual where they are, honoring their unique experiences, and empowering them to explore their strengths and resiliency factors.
With a strong background in working with teens and adults, Amy helps individuals navigate a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. She draws from evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and tailors her interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of each person. She emphasizes the importance of developing strategies and tools that align with one’s values and culture. Her goal is to support everyone on their journey towards fostering resilience, well-being, and personal growth.
Amy has a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling & Psychology from Chestnut Hill College, specializing in Diverse and Underserved Communities. She has worked extensively in a community mental health setting, supporting individuals from marginalized communities experiencing trauma, substance use, and other mental health challenges. She has also served as a volunteer crisis counselor for the Crisis Text Line.
Amy is currently under the supervision of Nicola Pierre-Smith, LPC and offers both in-person therapy and online therapy appointments.
