Katie Zheng is a licensed psychotherapist in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Colorado who works with adults & couples navigating identity concerns, relationship and family dynamics, stress, and periods of transition. She has a particular interest in supporting second-generation and BIPOC clients who feel caught between cultural expectations and their own sense of self. Many of the individuals she works with describe feeling responsible for everyone around them while struggling to slow down enough to understand what they actually want.
Katie’s approach is relational and culturally responsive. She helps clients explore how their experiences are shaped not only by personal history, but also by family roles, migration stories, and cultural or systemic pressures. Her style is thoughtful and grounded. She brings a steady presence that makes room for both insight and practical change, while encouraging clients to reconnect with values they may have unknowingly muted over time.
Katie’s background spans integrated behavioral health, community-based mental health, child welfare settings, and older adult services. She has provided therapy in both primary care and community environments, conducted psychosocial and mental health assessments, and facilitated workshops in English and Mandarin. These experiences allow her to understand clients in the fullness of their context and to support them through a wide range of emotional, social, and cultural challenges.
Katie currently offers virtual psychotherapy to clients based in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Colorado. Her work is collaborative and conversational, creating a space where clients can feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward a more grounded way of living.

Anxiety - I help clients manage anxiety by understanding underlying patterns, building coping skills, and creating a greater sense of calm and confidence in daily life.
Relationship issues - I help clients navigate relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, conflict, and emotional disconnection, to build healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
Life transitions - I work with individuals facing life transitions, including changes in work, relationships, health, or family roles. Together, we explore what’s ending, what’s emerging, and how to stay grounded during periods of change.
Race & cultural identity - I support clients exploring race and cultural identity, including experiences of marginalization, belonging, and self-understanding, in a culturally affirming and reflective space.
Immigrant’s issues - I support immigrants navigating acculturation stress, identity shifts, family expectations, and the emotional impact of migration. I offer a culturally responsive space to process trauma, grief, and resilience across generations.
Sports psychology - I support athletes with sports-related mental health concerns, including performance anxiety, confidence, focus, motivation, and recovery from injury.
