Amy Huang Asian Therapist at Melanated Womens Health

Amy Huang, LAPC

Amy Huang is an Asian therapist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey 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 and addressing intergenerational expectations. This personal journey fuels her dedication to serving first-generation American and BIPOC communities, where she strives to break down the stigmas that surround mental health.

Amy uses a therapy approach that is warm, person-centered, and collaborative. She has a passion for helping women and men who are adult children of immigrants, transracial adoptees, and teens who experience:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Grief and loss

  • Childhood trauma

  • Conflicts in romantic, friendship and family relationships

  • Difficulty exploring sexual identity and cultural identity

  • Life transitions from being a recent graduate, changing career or academic path

She draws from evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Amy 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.

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. Additionally, Amy provides intake coordination support for new clients through free consultation phone calls to help clients make the decision on which of the Melanated Women’s Health therapists would be the best fit for their needs.
