MEET SHAWN LI, LMFT
You can feel at home in your body and mind again.
I’m a virtual therapist seeing clients based in New York, empowering women in their current and next chapters of life.
“I don’t know what happened, but something changed.”
All of those long days and sleepless nights paid off. You have the career. The relationship. The life you’ve always dreamed of. But inside? You still feel like you’re at the starting line, unclear of what you want, how you feel, or who you want to be.
You’ve talked through it with your friends. You’ve listened to the podcasts, bookmarked all the coping resources you can find online, and just added another title to the never-ending list of self-help books, hoping maybe this will be the one that helps. But instead of feeling clearer, you’re left with even more information to sort through and even more overwhelm.
You don’t need another piece of advice. You need a space where the focus is entirely on you. A place to talk openly about what you’re experiencing with someone who can listen without judgment and help you make sense of what’s actually going on.
How I work
We’re here to name and unashame the emotional world happening within you.
I take a collaborative, systemic approach to therapy: We’ll work together toward your goals (I’m not just going to sit and nod while you talk!) while getting curious about the full context of what you’re experiencing. We’ll look at what’s happening within you, what’s going on around you, and how everything influences each other.
That might mean exploring the relationships, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and environments that have shaped you. We’ll also pay attention to the stories you’ve developed along the way.
I believe a pillar of mental health is understanding your emotional experience and learning to respond to it with care. Together, we’ll put words to what’s happening inside of you without judging or shaming yourself for what you find there.

Anxiety during a life transition is rarely just about the transition itself. Often, it’s the accumulation of everything that has come before it. We’ll work together to combat the challenges of big transitions and find more ease in your everyday life.
-
Singleness is not the stigma society makes you believe it is — it’s the foundation from which the rest of your relationships are built. I’m here to support you in solidifying and building off of that foundation.
-
Each of us has a unique story structured by the themes that impact our lives. We’ll work together to unearth these narratives, how you’re telling them to yourself, and connect them to what you’re experiencing.
