Professional statement

Dr. Vivi Hua is a bilingual, Mandarin-speaking Clinical Psychologist based in Midtown Manhattan. She specializes in supporting individuals and couples navigating cross-cultural challenges, often working with first- and second-generation immigrants, international students, and intercultural couples. She also has extensive experience with members of the LGBTQIA community and clients seeking help with relationships, career development, complex trauma, and family-of-origin concerns.

Many of Dr. Hua’s clients are high-achievers who have accomplished success outwardly but struggle inwardly with anxiety, depression, intimacy, or disconnection from their true desires. Often balancing cultural expectations with personal needs, they may feel unfulfilled in their careers or relationships. Dr. Hua helps clients reconnect with themselves and build more authentic, meaningful lives.

Her approach begins with practical coping strategies tailored to each client’s needs. As symptoms improve, she guides clients in exploring deeper roots of their struggles and developing personalized self-care routines that truly work for them. With warmth and insight, Dr. Hua supports her clients through every step of their healing and growth.

Beyond private practice, Dr. Hua supervises psychology doctoral trainees at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY). Her professional background spans medical, community, school, and foster care settings, where she has worked with diverse populations.

Dr. Hua earned her Doctor of Psychology degree from Yeshiva University. She welcomes you to her Midtown office, conveniently located near Grand Central and Bryant Park.
