Lilin Qiu

I specialize in addressing deep-rooted issues—especially complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and medically unexplained chronic pain. My approach is mindful, authentic, and (maybe!) humorous. I received my B.A. in Mind-Body Medicine and M.A. in Bioethics from New York University, then completed my M.S. in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Rochester - a hub known for integrated mind-body healing practices. Some of my proudest achievements are helping marginalized survivors of complex PTSD find balance again—just as I once did with the support of my own therapists. I hold both clinical depth and intuitive clarity in my work. In sessions, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space while also helping you understand your healing process through a neuropsychological lens. I see myself as a guide who supports you in reconnecting with your most authentic self. As someone with lived experience of mental health illness, I came to know that people are usually closest to their inner truth (or about to discover them) in their period of darkness. So be brave, and be patient. Trust yourself to have the ability to heal. Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering isn't. The best time to heal and thrive is now.
