Siyi Lai, NY LMFT 002614

I am a therapist and sex therapist with a rich background spanning diverse careers, life transitions, and relationships. I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work with individuals and couples seeking deeper connection—with themselves, their partners, and the world around them.
I understand how easy it can be to feel stuck in the past or caught in repetitive patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes, talking things through with yourself, family, or friends simply isn’t enough to create meaningful change. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain new perspective, and understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My goal is not only to help you develop practical tools to manage symptoms and navigate specific challenges, but also to support deeper, lasting transformation. Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may be holding you back, clarify what matters most to you, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My therapeutic style is warm, holistic, collaborative, and empowering. I draw from multiple approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Humanistic Therapy. I tailor treatment to your individual needs, goals, and pace.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, life transitions, or simply feel ready for something in your life to change, I would be honored to support you in creating a more authentic, connected, and fulfilling life.
