My name is Eric Yip and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York City. I received my Masters from the Alliance School of Counseling at Nyack College. Becoming a therapist is a childhood dream come true for me and with fifteen years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked in various areas, ranging from depression and personality disorders to child development and end-of-life issues.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Therapy is a space where one can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, learn how to manage difficult emotions, and, receive guidance and support while working towards your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Being American born Chinese, I struggled with my identity growing up. I wasn't Chinese enough for the Chinese kids, but too Chinese for everyone else. This led to me being bullied to the point of not wanting to live anymore. Fortunately, my 5th-grade teacher found the "good bye" letter I wrote, and my parents soon afterwards enrolled me in therapy. Over the course of a year, I gained valuable life skills and coping mechanisms that have stayed with me to this day. This experience made me realize that I wanted to help others in similar situations, and decided to pursue my career in therapy.
