强迫症以及有关疾病
根据各自研究表明，全球患有强迫症的人大概有1.1%-3%，也就说，每100个人里面，就有1-3个人患有临床强迫症。即使如此，我们普遍对强迫症仍然知之甚少。
我受训于哈佛大学医学院附属麦克莱恩医院（Mclean Hospital) OCDI 强迫症中心，并曾在罗杰斯行为健康诊所担任专攻强迫症、焦虑症以及相关疾病治疗的心理咨询师。我擅长结合接纳承诺疗法(ACT)及暴露疗法（ERP）治疗强迫症以及有关疾病。
多元文化主义与社会文化理疗
我以多元化和社会公平的角度看待和理解来访者的诉求。
我认为心理咨询可分成三部分：向内、向外、向前。心理咨询不仅是对自我认知的挖掘和探索，更是对外部环境及社会结构如何塑造自我的认知旅程。我相信知识和探索的力量，愿意凭借其专业领域的学识，与来访一起探索如何获得清晰的自我认知、从容地建立和选择自我与他人及外部世界的联结，从而收获疗愈并成长。
(Includes but not limited to International students, H1b visa holders, refugee, adoptee, and illegal immigrants)
我具有丰富的治疗亚裔背景的来访者的经历和体验，了解不同身份背景带给来访的多重压力以及独特挑战。我工作过的个案们来自不同程度的亚裔文化背景，包括东亚、东南亚和西亚地区，并覆盖多种多元化的身份，比如国际学生、非法移民、难民、孤儿、H1B签证持有者等等。
我相信个体的差异性和独特性。尽管同处美国，都是亚裔，但每位个体来访者都有独立的、不可复制的文化背景和身份认知。这些元素和我们同时存在的其他身份及经历，包括年龄、性别、原生家庭、资产、阶层等等，碰撞在一起，形成多元性交织（Intersectionality)，指引着我们看世界的方式和角度。我会综合诸项元素，与来访者共同探索来访的议题，从心理学角度改善并提高来访者面对困境和挑战的应对能力。

Erjing offers different therapy lengths:
Brief-term Therapy (3-6 sessions), Middle-term Therapy (12-24 sessions), and Long-Term Therapy.
What is brief-term Therapy?
Brief-term therapy is characterized by its focused and time-limited nature, often focusing on addressing immediate and specific problems and providing practical short-term solutions within a concise timeframe. Brief-term therapy with Erjing can take several forms: 1) the therapist and client might collaborate closely to identify the immediate challenge, develop strategies for coping or problem-solving, and work towards tangible outcomes; 2) the therapist might provide an assessment, recommendations, and/or referrals for further work, and 3) the client might utilize brief-term Therapy to gain a feel for therapy.
Brief-term therapy usually does not involve getting to the core of the challenges.
What is Middle-term Therapy?
Therapy sessions ranging from 12 to 24 typically fall into the category of middle-term therapy. This intermediate length allows for a more in-depth exploration and work on a specific issue. Some examples of this specific issue might include a single life transition, a single case of trauma, or relationship challenges.
What is Long-Term Therapy?
Long-term therapy involves an extended and ongoing therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist. Unlike brief or middle-term therapy, long-term therapy continues for an extended period, often spanning months to years. This form of therapy allows for a comprehensive exploration of deep-seated issues, patterns, and complexities in an individual's life. It also allows individuals to work through complex issues at their own pace. The therapeutic relationship becomes a supportive and transformative space for personal growth and lasting change.

“I was in a dark place that I no longer am. I honestly think that Erjing was a big part of me not giving up on myself. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am eternally thankful.”
"In therapy, she pushes me to jump into the uncertainty, but she also doesn’t overdo it. She has helped me tremendously on encountering fears that I would never think I am capable of encountering.
She gives me space and patience in therapy and she’s able to understand me well, wherever it is that I am coming from.
She understands there are no negative emotions, but there are emotions that are more difficult, which is a huge factor in recovery too, to feel whatever it is that you are feeling.
All in all, I wouldn’t be where I am now in recovery without her significant help! "
我和尔婧进行了一年半多的咨询，在这里我学到了很多从没见过的解决问题的技巧和方法，也解开了我很多年的困惑，原来我一直有思维强迫，现在我可以很好的和它相处，并不害怕它了。尔婧让我更相信循证治疗的必要性，对于强迫症最好的方法就是暴露疗法和接纳承诺疗法也希望更多的强迫患者能了解与学习，让勇于暴露成为我们的一种生活态度。
尔婧咨询师是一个有温情很体贴但同时又足够理性和聪明的咨询师，咨询进展中遇到困难时，她提出的建议都很专业很受用，她总是站在我的角度思考问题，在这里我没有遇到过尴尬和不适。对于我来说，我找了很久的咨询师，强迫又是很小众的病，要找到合适的疗法又要找到匹配的咨询师真的非常难，我认为遇到尔婧对我来说是人生中幸运的事情～
