Chiaying Wei, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. The office is located in the Upper Westside.

A CBT trained clinician, her approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in scientific evidence. CBT is based on the idea that one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected.
