Dr. Pei-Han Cheng is a licensed psychologist serving adults, couples, and parents in New York and Oregon. She works with high-achieving adults — especially Asian and Asian American clients — who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or relationship strain despite appearing successful on the outside.
Many of her clients feel caught between cultural expectations and their own needs. They may struggle with self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, recurring relationship conflict, or the pressure to meet family or societal standards. Others seek support in breaking intergenerational patterns or parenting in ways that feel more aligned with their values. Dr. Cheng provides culturally responsive therapy that integrates an understanding of identity, family dynamics, and achievement pressure.
Her work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and evidence-based approaches (e.g., Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that support both insight and practical change. She takes an active and engaged role in sessions, helping clients recognize blind spots, regulate emotions more effectively, and practice new ways of communicating and relating in real time.
Dr. Cheng offers therapy in both English and Mandarin. Whether working with individuals navigating anxiety and burnout, couples seeking to deepen emotional connection, or parents hoping to break repeating patterns, she aims to create a steady, thoughtful space where growth feels possible and sustainable.
Relationships - Recurring conflict, emotional distance, or difficulty expressing needs can signal deeper relational patterns. I help individuals and couples identify these cycles, strengthen communication, and build more secure, emotionally connected relationships.
Couples counseling - My couples work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-supported, attachment-based approach. I take an active role in helping partners recognize negative communication cycles, express vulnerable emotions safely, and rebuild trust and connection.
Asian / Asian American Cultural Identity - I specialize in working with Asian and Asian American adults navigating identity tension, family expectations, and bicultural stress. Therapy provides space to honor your cultural background while developing a stronger sense of autonomy and clarity.
Anxiety - I work with high-functioning adults who experience persistent anxiety, overthinking, or difficulty relaxing despite appearing capable and composed. Together we explore the underlying pressures — including cultural expectations and perfectionism — and build practical tools for emotional regulation and steadier self-trust.
Burnout - Burnout often shows up as exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from meaning. I help high-achieving professionals understand how pressure, cultural expectations, and internal standards contribute to burnout, and develop sustainable ways to relate to work and success.
Parenting & Generational Patterns - I work with reflective parents who want to respond to their children differently than they were raised. Therapy helps increase emotional awareness, regulate triggers, and break generational patterns while maintaining cultural values.
