Jeffrey Wright, He/They, Director and Therapist
My role as your therapist is to help you rebuild your relationship with yourself so that you can live your best life. I draw on two complementary approaches: psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on treating the root causes of what is troubling you rather than the symptoms that arise from it, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which targets the thought patterns and behaviors that can lead to depression, anxiety, and addiction. Together, these approaches deepen your understanding of who you are and how you relate to others — helping you break cycles that no longer serve you and become more confident, secure, and fulfilled.
My passion for mental health work has roots in community and crisis care. Since 2013, I have volunteered with the Trevor Project as a counselor for queer youth in crisis, an experience that has profoundly shaped my commitment to LGBTQ mental health. I went on to complete two master's degrees in psychological counseling at Columbia University, where I received specialized training in multicultural counseling, bilingual therapy (English/Spanish), substance use, family therapy, and LGBTQ issues.
Early in my career, I brought this training into the community at the Bronx Family and Child Center, where I provided bilingual family therapy in English and Spanish. This work reinforced my dedication to culturally responsive, community-centered care — values that remain at the heart of my practice today.
I have continued to deepen my expertise through rigorous advanced training. I recently completed a two-year post-master's program in psychodynamic psychotherapy at NYU School of Medicine's Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY), a three-year advanced graduate certificate in gender studies and queer studies at SUNY Empire State College, and a 500-hour yoga teacher training through an internationally recognized studio. I also serve as an adjunct professor of counseling psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I help train the next generation of mental health counselors.
My approach is informed by crisis work, trauma-informed care, anti-racism, intersectionality, queer theory, and mind-body connection. Above all, I am committed to person-centered therapy — meeting you exactly where you are and tailoring my approach to your unique needs. Together, let's transform your relationship with yourself. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.

Charles Lovett, They/He, Therapist
My therapeutic approach is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: change begins with noticing. Through building genuine trust between us, we create the conditions for self-reflection, curiosity, insight, and self-compassion to flourish. I work from a highly individualized, person-centered approach — one that centers your feelings and your inner sense of agency. Our work might take many shapes: helping you find relief from anxiety, a stronger sense of who you are, greater self-worth, richer connections, or more room in your life for pleasure and happiness.
My approach is shaped by queer, multiracial, and liberatory perspectives, and I am committed to fostering an environment where you can bring your full, multifaceted self to every session, without reservation. You can trust that here, your complexity will not only be accepted, but celebrated.
Before becoming a therapist, I earned a B.A. in East Asian Studies from Harvard University and spent five years working in education and crisis intervention in China. I have completed two master's degrees in psychological counseling at Columbia University, with a focus on LGBTQ mental health, multiracial identities, and understanding Whiteness. In my free time, I continue to hone my Japanese and Chinese language skills, volunteer on the Trevor Project crisis hotline, and cook Korean food. Sessions are available in English and Mandarin, with conversational proficiency in Japanese.
Wenhui Xue, She/Her, Therapist
I believe that each of us holds innate strengths that, when nurtured, can guide us toward healing and growth. As your therapist, I take a strengths-based approach, meeting you where you are and supporting you through both challenges and self-exploration. Together, we can work toward unlocking your full potential.
My work is informed by psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, as well as intersectional feminism and queer theory. I place strong value on helping clients understand how their past experiences shape their present, while also exploring how culture and identity influence us—both individually and collectively.
Before becoming a therapist, I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Tsinghua University in China, and my Ed.M. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. During my graduate training, I studied a range of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, LGBTQ+ mental health, and intersectionality. I also have experience working in a nonprofit organization supporting queer communities in China.
I offer sessions in both English and Mandarin.
